Strange. Google doesn´t find anything on "Kinwalds weights". In Europe (or maybe; in the rest of the world) the viscosity is measured in "stoke". You can buy silicon on 100, 1000, 10000 etc. stoke. Stoke is the CGS-unit for kinematical viscocity and one stoke= 10^4m^2/s. But OK, you have your bushels, your inches and your Fahrenheit. So why not buy silicon in Kinwalds?

Here in the US, they are measured in Kinwald weights, where a high number like 80 means a heavy weight, and lower numbers like 10 or 25 mean thinner weight. I think in Europe there is a different scale but the same idea applies.
