Is 9 or 14cST thin or thick sample???

Is 9 or 14cST thin or thick sample???

Is 9 or 14cST thin or thick sample???

(OP)
Viscosity of the sample is 9 to 14cST.. Is the sample thin or thick at this value???

Thanks

Wikipedia has it defined pretty well under kinematic viscosity units section of its viscosity page.

Rather thin.

Thanks for the response everyone. This goes into an  analyzer to analyse the Co2 and H20 content of the sample interms of ppm  

RE: Is 9 or 14cST thin or thick sample???

"thin to plow" rather.

Why does the viscosity matter?  For example, if you pump it in a 50 km pipeline, you need a different kind of pump to do it, but what difference would it make to the analyzer you have?  Got a model number or a web link for the thing?

Pour point is 42C ... Sample solidifies or become sluggish at 45C.

Viso mentioned earlier are at 82C. We trying to find the suitability for that analyser, if that makes any sense.

Thanks   

RE: Is 9 or 14cST thin or thick sample???

What analyser?  OK, I think I wouldn't want to allow whatever this liquid is to set up in the analyzer, so you have to keep it at higher than 45C going through it. If the analyzer is agreeable to that, I'd also have a connection to some diluent, or other solute that I could run through right afterwards to help keep it clean.  But I don't know what analyzer you're using or what the fluid is you're trying to analyze, so ... you're on your own there.
