What are the relationships between these 3 properties of a fluid and how would you calculate say the density when you know the viscosity and specific gravity?
Viscosity, Specific Gravity & Density
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies the relationships between viscosity, specific gravity, and density of fluids. Viscosity measures a fluid's resistance to shear deformation, while specific gravity is the ratio of a fluid's density to that of water. Density is defined as mass per unit volume. To calculate density, one can multiply the specific gravity by the density of water, providing a straightforward method for determining density from specific gravity.
