A forced flow viscosity measuring apparatus includes within a housing (13), a thermostatic air chamber (11), a measurement capillary (38) and a needle (60) in fluid communication with the capillary each contained in the chamber, and a variable speed drive mechanism (14) which dries such needle into the liquid at a speed that maintains the pressure differential constant across the length of same measurement capillary to which is attached a pressure measuring device (30) and the needle (60), and a control circuit (50). The control circuit (50) computes viscosity as a function of sensed needle (60) velocity, sensed constant pressure differential and the parameters of the capillary.
