I ran across this little tidbit in one of my books. I thought it might
provide a little "Light" reading for the list. Here goes:
Listing viscosities by centerpoise is sometimes confusing unless one is
thoroughly familiar with this particular system. The following
practical interpretation will be of assistance. The viscosity readings
are for mixed compounds.
The readings were taken at 25 degrees C with a Brookfield viscometer.
1 CENTIPOISE (C.P)....WATER
4000 CENTIPOISE (C.P)....#10 MOTOR OIL
3,500 CENTIPOISE (C.P)....CASTOR OIL
4,500 CENTIPOISE (C.P)....KARO SYRUP
25,000 CENTIPOISE (C.P)....HERSHEY CHOC. SYRUP
OIL VISCOSITY
