What is kinematic viscosity?

Kinematic viscosity is a measure of a fluid's internal resistance to flow under gravitational forces. It is determined by measuring the time in seconds, required for a fixed volume of fluid to flow a known distance by gravity through a capillary within a calibrated viscometer at a closely controlled temperature.

How to Calculate Kinematic Viscosity?

Kinematic Viscosity calculator uses Kinematic Viscosity of Liquid = Dynamic Viscosity of Fluid/Mass Density to calculate the Kinematic Viscosity of Liquid, Kinematic viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow under the influence of gravity. It is defined as the ratio of dynamic viscosity to the density of the fluid. Kinematic Viscosity of Liquid is denoted by ν_f symbol.
