Dekapoise

daP

Definition

The dekapoise 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 deka- prefix to the poise, providing a scale for measuring moderately high viscosities in scientific and engineering contexts.

Current Use

Used in various applications where materials have moderately high viscosities, such as certain oils, polymers, and thick fluids.

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.
