Formula:
The calculation for dynamic viscosity (μ) of water at a given temperature (T in °C) uses an empirical correlation:
μ = A / (1 + B · T + C · T2)
- Where:
- μ = Dynamic Viscosity (mPa·s or cP)
- T = Temperature (°C)
- A = 1.7915 mPa·s
- B = 0.03368 °C-1
- C = 0.000221 °C-2
Kinematic Viscosity (ν) is then calculated by dividing the dynamic viscosity by the fluid's density (ρ):
ν = μ / ρ
- Where:
- ν = Kinematic Viscosity (mm²/s or cSt)
- μ = Dynamic Viscosity (mPa·s)
- ρ = Density (kg/m³)
