What is movement of piston in dash-pot?

A dashpot is a mechanical device, a damper that resists motion via viscous friction. The resulting force is proportional to the velocity, but acts in the opposite direction, slowing the motion and absorbing energy. It is commonly used in conjunction with a spring (which acts to resist displacement).

What are the types of dashpot?

The two most common types of dashpots are linear and rotary ones. A less common type of dashpot is an eddy current damper.

How to Calculate Viscosity of Fluid or Oil for Movement of Piston in Dash-Pot?

Viscosity of Fluid or Oil for Movement of Piston in Dash-Pot calculator uses Viscosity of Fluid = (4*Weight of Body*Clearance^3)/(3*pi*Length of Pipe*Piston Diameter^3*Velocity of Fluid) to calculate the Viscosity of Fluid, Viscosity of Fluid or Oil for Movement of Piston in Dash-Pot depends on the force applied to the piston, the velocity of the piston's movement, and the dimensions of the dash-pot (including the area of the piston and the clearance between the piston and the cylinder). The viscosity is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to the velocity of the piston and the cross-sectional area through which the fluid flows. Viscosity of Fluid is denoted by μ symbol.
