There must be a Table of Relative Viscosities where H2O is assigned a value of 1. This would help those who are not mathematically-inclined.

used to check "viscos"in the printing factory ,where I worked,you got in trouble if the viscos were too low for the printing machine.

...of course, Temperature would have to be factored in. Keep Hydrogen-bonding out of it so not to get too complicated.

yay I got it right! I was debating viscosity and permeability. Been a long time since I've had to study physics

Daz, I just learned from you that the viscosity law has so many applications in life.
