A Capilliary Viscometer measures the speed at which a lquid can be forced through a narrow tube (a capillary). Thicker liquids (high viscosity like treacle) will take a lot longer to squeeze through the tube than a thin liquid (like white spirit). If you take a fluid (liquid) like blood it could be put through a Viscometer like this to see if your blood was too thick or thin. Also it could be used to check if your engine oil met up to spec.

∙ 9y agoCapillaries Tiny blood vessels connecting arteries to veins. These blood vessels carry oxygen and nutrients to individual cells. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body, and have walls only one or two cells thick. (Their diameter is 5 to 10 micrometers, or 5 to 10 millionths of a meter.) Capillaries connect arterioles and venules, which are the smaller extensions of the larger arteries and veins.
