The kinematic viscosity of a fluid is found by dividing the dynamic viscosity by the density of the fluid. The kinematic viscosity of water changes depending on the temperature of the water. It ranges from .29 SI units to 1.787 SI units.

The kinematic viscosity of water at room temperature is typically around 1.0 × 10^-6 m²/s. This value can vary slightly depending on the temperature and pressure of the water.
The kinematic viscosity of water at 60 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately 1.40 centistokes.
The kinematic viscosity of water at 74 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately 1.042 centistokes.
The kinematic viscosity of water at 20°C is approximately 1.0036 centistokes. This value can vary slightly depending on the exact temperature and pressure conditions.
Dynamic viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow under shear stress, while kinematic viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow under gravitational forces. Dynamic viscosity is expressed in units like Pascal-seconds (Pa·s) or centipoise (cP), while kinematic viscosity is expressed in units like square meters per second (m^2/s) or centistokes (cSt). The two are related through the fluid's density, with kinematic viscosity being the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density.
This is viscosity, which is a measure of a fluid's resistance to deformation and flow. It is influenced by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the composition of the fluid. Viscosity is classified as either dynamic (absolute) viscosity or kinematic viscosity.
