Question 1

What is maple syrup viscosity?

Accepted Answer

Grade A: 150-200 cP. Grade B: thicker. Temperature dependent—cold syrup much thicker than warm.

Question 2

How is syrup viscosity measured?

Accepted Answer

Baumé scale for sugar content. Viscometers for flow. Thicker syrup = higher sugar concentration.

Question 3

What's the difference between dynamic and kinematic viscosity?

Accepted Answer

Dynamic viscosity (Pa·s, cP) measures flow resistance. Kinematic viscosity (m²/s, cSt) is dynamic viscosity divided by density, used in flow calculations.

Question 4

How does temperature affect viscosity?

Accepted Answer

Liquids generally become less viscous (thinner) when heated. Motor oil ratings (like 10W-40) indicate viscosity at cold (W) and hot operating temperatures.
