(i) Low viscosity: water and kerosene (also petrol, ethanol).
(ii) High viscosity: glycerine and honey (also engine oil, palm oil, tar).
(b) Viscostatic liquid
A liquid is said to be viscostatic when its viscosity remains almost constant (does not change appreciably) with change in temperature. Such liquids, e.g. certain multigrade lubricating oils, keep a steady flow behaviour whether hot or cold.
