Viscosity is a measure of the thinness or thickness of liquid raw materials. Each country has different expressions for viscosity units. To help you convert different viscosity units, some conversions between different viscosity units are listed below.
Note: The following viscosities are based on liquid materials with a specific gravity of one.
