| description | Viscosity is the measurement of resistance of a liquid to flow. Viscosity is a characteristic property of a fluid and typically is a constant for a given liquid at a given temperature.[PMID: 16830959] Semen may be measured quantitatively using a viscometer rather than the traditional subjective rating method. Determining the seminal viscosity with a quantitative method may be valuable in identifying and treating the subgroup of infertile men with viscid semen. [PMID: 1358311] | ||

| component | Viscosity^20M post collection 20M = 20 minutes post challenge | ||
| property | Visc = Viscosity | ||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||
| system | Semen = Seminal fluid | ||
| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | ||
