Excerpt from Determination of Absolute Viscosity by Short-Tube Viscosimeters Unfortunately none of the units of T able 1 have been generally employed by oil refiners and jobbers, although, according to Denton,7 tests for viscosity have been in use for over 30 years. In the oil industry in the United States viscosity is usually meas ured by an instrument called a viscosimeter or viscometer, which permits a certain volume of oil to discharge through a short capillary tube, the viscosity, so called, being reported as the time of discharge in seconds, a value which is of little significance unless the make of instrument is stated and is well known.
