PROPERTIES OF FLUIDS AND PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS

DEFINITION OF FLUID

                            Fluid is a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress. Fluids are a subset of the phases of matter and include liquids, gases, plasmas and, to some extent, plastic solids.
  
                            Fluid is a substance, as a liquid or gas, that is capable of flowing and that changes its shape at a steady rate when acted upon by a force tending to change its shape.
