Viscosity: Dynamic viscoscity & kinematic viscoscity,viscoscity index.

viscosity: resistance of fluid to change its shape,due to the intermolecular forces causing a frictional drag effect.
Absolute or dynamic viscosity= force to shear a fluid of area 1 m2 over another fluid of area 1m2 at the rate of 1m/s when the distance between two is 1 m.

kinematic viscosity is the ratio of absolute viscosity to the density of the same fluid at that temperature.
viscosity index-a value showing the ability of fluid to resist change in viscosity wrt change in temperature. a high viscosity index show high resistance

Why atomisation test should not be done in slide type fuel valves

Since very small needle lift is obtained in the test equipment result in an unequal pressure distribution in the cut off shaft resulting in a hard contact in a small area along with high frequency oscillations, low lubricity of test oil will increase the chance of seizure. Full lift and high lubricity of heavy oil eliminates this risk  of seizure during normal operation.( Always open and clean slide type valves before testing as cold sticky heavy oil along with small clearances can cause restriction in the movement of the spindle).
