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.

Poundal Second per Square Foot

pdl·s/ft²

Definition

The poundal second per square foot is an imperial unit of dynamic viscosity, representing the resistance of a fluid to flow when a force of one poundal per square foot is applied.

History/Origin

This unit originates from the imperial system of measurements, where force is measured in poundals and area in square feet. It was commonly used in engineering applications in the United States and other countries using imperial units.

Current Use

Still used in some engineering contexts, particularly in the United States and other countries that use imperial units. It provides a practical measure for engineers working with force-based calculations in imperial units.
