A kinematic viscosity tester is a device used to measure the kinematic viscosity of a fluid. Kinematic viscosity is a measure of a fluid's internal resistance to flow under the influence of gravity. It is defined as the ratio of the dynamic viscosity to the fluid's density. The unit of kinematic viscosity is typically the square meter per second (m²/s) or more commonly, the centistoke (cSt).
