Cartilage is a type of connective tissue; it smoothes the surfaces of the bones at joints and it gives strength to structures such as the trachea. There are three different types of cartilage in the human body.
Brookfield Viscosity, Brookfield Viscometers, Measurements & Specifications. Brookfield viscosity usually refers to a viscosity measurement performed with a Brookfield Viscometer, sometimes refered to as a Brookfield viscosimeter.
Most of the time when viscosity is explained words are used that are too technical for the average person to quickly grasp. This leaves them still wondering what the viscosity numbers really mean on a bottle of motor oil. Simply put, viscosity is the oil's resistance to flow or, for the layman, an oil's speed of flow as measured through a device known as a viscometer. The thicker (higher viscosity) of an oil, the slower it will flow. You will see oil viscosity measurement in lube articles stated in kinematic (kv) and absolute (cSt) terms. These are translated into the easier to understand SAE viscosity numbers you see on an oil bottle.
