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.

Pascal Second

Pa·s

Definition

The pascal second is the SI unit of dynamic viscosity, representing the resistance of a fluid to flow when a force is applied. It is defined as the viscosity of a fluid in which a force of one newton per square meter produces a velocity gradient of one meter per second per meter.

History/Origin

Named after Blaise Pascal, this unit was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) to provide a standardized measure of dynamic viscosity. It replaced the older CGS unit of poise in scientific and engineering applications.

Current Use

Widely used in engineering, physics, and fluid mechanics for characterizing the flow properties of liquids and gases. It is the standard unit in scientific literature and international standards for viscosity measurements.
