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.

Gram per Centimeter per Second
g/(cm·s)
Definition
The gram per centimeter per second is a CGS unit of dynamic viscosity, representing the resistance of a fluid to flow when a force of one dyne per square centimeter is applied.
History/Origin
This unit is part of the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units, which was widely used in physics and chemistry before the adoption of the SI system. It provides a smaller base unit for viscosity measurements.
Current Use
Still used in some scientific contexts, particularly in older literature and certain specialized fields. It is particularly useful for measuring the viscosity of very thin fluids and gases.
