Butane - Dynamic and Kinematic Viscosity vs. Temperature and Pressure (original) (raw)
The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress .
Tabulated values of butane viscosity and viscosity units conversion are given below the figures.
The calculator below can be used to estimate butane dynamic or kinematic viscosity at given temperatures and atmospheric pressure.
The output dynamic viscosity is given as Pas, Ns/m2, cP, mPas, lbfs/ft2 and lbm/fth, while the kinematic viscosity is given as cSt, m2/s and ft2/s.
