Overview

Water becomes less viscous ('thinner') as it heats up. This calculator uses empirical formulas to determine dynamic viscosity.

Fun Facts

"Water is about 50 times more viscous than air."
"Honey is roughly 10,000 times more viscous than water."
"Viscosity drops significantly with temperature; hot water flows faster through a filter."

Formula: μ = A · 10^(B/(T-C))
