To get a feel for a viscosity value, it helps to name an everyday liquid as a reference. Water is thin, syrup is thick — that immediately gives you a sense of what we’re talking about. Honey is often mentioned as an example of a thick liquid. Everyone knows honey, but as a reference point it’s less suitable. The viscosity of honey isn’t fixed at one value: it ranges roughly between 2,000 and 10,000 mPa·s at 20 °C, depending on moisture content and variety. Read more
