This book has been initiated by my former colleague, Mr. Anil Kumar Senior Principle Scientific Officer at National Physical Laboratory, who put to me some questions regarding the calibration of viscometers. I also realised that understanding of viscosity and viscous forces have been a subject matter of interest to research workers in many fields like medicine, oil industry, to physicists, chemists, engineers, fuel technologists and to rheologists. Absolute measurement of viscosity of liquids even with 0.5% accuracy is rather a tough and time-consuming job. On the other hand, measurement of viscosity relative to viscosity of some standard has been much easier and uncertainty involved is much less than 0.1%. Hence it becomes necessary to have liquid of known viscosity. Easy availability of water of known characteristics and density to very high degree of accuracy makes it a correct choice to be the primary standard of viscosity. Therefore, the measurement of viscosity of water has been emphasised. Some scientists have spent a major part of their working life in viscosity measurement of water. For example, Scientists at NIST USA have spent some 20 years to establish the value of viscosity of water. The measurement of viscosity of water by capillary and oscillations viscometers has been discussed in Chap. 8 of the book.Once the value of viscosity of water is established, the next valid step is to build the viscosity scale. This has been discussed in Chap. 2 of the book. Uncertainty propagated to the nth step of viscosity scale has also been derived. Corrections necessary to apply to viscometer constant of the viscometer when used at different temperatures with a different liquid in establishing the viscosity scale have been discussed in detail.
