viscosity. The tendency of a fluid to resist flow or the quality of resistance to flow; viscosity is measured with a viscometer to assess hyperviscosity syndromes associated with monoclonal gammopathies, rheumatoid arthritis, SLE, hyperfibrinogenemia Ref range 1.4-1.8 relative to water. See Apparent viscosity. Cf Specific gravity.
Surface tension and viscosity are two interesting properties of fluids which are related to the cohesion of the molecules in the fluid. Viscosity is the resistance of a substance to flow (1) and surface tension is a property of liquids such that their surfaces behave like a thin, elastic film (1). Surface tension is created by the inward pulling force exerted on the surface of a fluid (2).
