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.

Millinewton Second per Square Meter

mN·s/m²

Definition

The millinewton second per square meter is a smaller unit of dynamic viscosity, representing one-thousandth of a newton second per square meter. It is useful for measuring very low viscosities.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the milli- prefix to the newton second per square meter, providing a more convenient scale for measuring low-viscosity fluids such as gases and very thin liquids.

Current Use

Commonly used in fluid mechanics and engineering for measuring the viscosity of gases, very thin liquids, and low-viscosity fluids where the pascal second would be too large a unit.
