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.

Newton Second per Square Meter

N·s/m²

Definition

The newton second per square meter is equivalent to the pascal second, representing the dynamic viscosity of a fluid when a force of one newton per square meter produces a velocity gradient of one meter per second per meter.

History/Origin

This unit is directly derived from the fundamental SI units of force (newton) and area (square meter). It provides an alternative expression for the pascal second using base SI units.

Current Use

Used in scientific and engineering contexts where it is more convenient to express viscosity in terms of force and area rather than pressure. It is mathematically equivalent to the pascal second.
