The water molecules are also attracted to each other, so large amounts of water are drawn up the cellulose fibers. If the liquid molecules are strongly attracted to the tube molecules, the liquid creeps up the inside of the tube until the weight of the liquid and the adhesive forces are in balance. The smaller the diameter of the tube is, the higher the liquid climbs.
It is partly by capillary action occurring in plant cells called xylem that water and dissolved nutrients are brought from the soil up through the roots and into a plant. Capillary action is the basis for thin layer chromatography, a laboratory technique commonly used to separate small quantities of mixtures.
You depend on a constant supply of tears to keep your eyes lubricated and on capillary action to pump tear fluid away. The extent of the rise or fall is directly proportional to the surface tension of the liquid and inversely proportional to the density of the liquid and the radius of the tube. The height to which a liquid will rise in a capillary tube is determined by several factors as shown in the following equation:. The intermolecular forces between molecules in the liquid state vary depending upon their chemical identities and result in corresponding variations in various physical properties.
Adhesive forces between the molecules of a liquid and different molecules composing a surface in contact with the liquid are responsible for phenomena such as surface wetting and capillary rise.

The answer, however, is clear: no correlation. The reasons are not so simple. I guess a good summary would be that surface tension is about steady state and viscosity is about movement.
