A new determination of the absolute viscosity of water

A new determination of the absolute viscosity of water A DETERMINATION of the absolute viscosity of water at 20C with greater accuracy than ever before realized has recently been completed by J. F. Swindells of the National Bureau of Standards, U.S.A. The new value is 0.01002 poise dyneseconds per square cm as compared with 0.01005 poise which has been generally accepted up to the present time. The absolute viscosity of water serves almost universally as the standard to which the viscosities of all other liquids are referred. Beginning July 1, 1952, the Bureau will use the new value as the primary standard for calibrating viscometers and for evaluating secondary standards which are issued as viscometer calibrating liquids. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Industrial Lubrication and Tribology Emerald Publishing

Abstract

A DETERMINATION of the absolute viscosity of water at 20C with greater accuracy than ever before realized has recently been completed by J. F. Swindells of the National Bureau of Standards, U.S.A. The new value is 0.01002 poise dyneseconds per square cm as compared with 0.01005 poise which has been generally accepted up to the present time. The absolute viscosity of water serves almost universally as the standard to which the viscosities of all other liquids are referred. Beginning July 1, 1952, the Bureau will use the new value as the primary standard for calibrating viscometers and for evaluating secondary standards which are issued as viscometer calibrating liquids.
