The absolute or dynamic viscosity of water depends on the temperature as indicated below:
| Temperature | Absolute - Dynamic - Viscosity (cP) | |
|---|---|---|
| (oF) | (oC) | |
| 32 | 0 | 1.794 |
| 40 | 4.4 | 1.546 |
| 50 | 10.0 | 1.310 |
| 60 | 15.6 | 1.129 |
| 70 | 21.1 | 0.982 |
| 80 | 26.7 | 0.862 |
| 90 | 32.2 | 0.764 |
| 100 | 37.8 | 0.682 |
| 120 | 48.9 | 0.559 |
| 140 | 60.0 | 0.470 |
| 160 | 71.1 | 0.401 |
