Centipoise

cP

Definition

The centipoise is a commonly used unit of dynamic viscosity, representing 10^-2 poise. It is widely used in industry for measuring the viscosity of various fluids.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the centi- prefix to the poise, providing a convenient scale for measuring low to moderate viscosities in industrial applications.

Current Use

Extensively used in the petroleum industry, chemical engineering, and food processing for measuring the viscosity of oils, polymers, and other fluids. It is often more convenient than the pascal second for practical applications.

Decipoise

dP

Definition

The decipoise is a unit of dynamic viscosity, representing 10^-1 poise. It is used for measuring the viscosity of moderately viscous materials in various applications.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the deci- prefix to the poise, providing a scale for measuring moderately low viscosities in scientific and engineering contexts.

Current Use

Used in various applications where materials have moderately low viscosities, such as certain oils, polymers, and fluids.
