Kilogram-force Second per Square Meter
kgf·s/m²
Definition
The kilogram-force second per square meter is a unit of dynamic viscosity in the gravitational metric system, representing the resistance of a fluid to flow when a force of one kilogram-force per square meter is applied.
History/Origin
This unit originates from the gravitational metric system, where force is measured in kilogram-force rather than newtons. It was commonly used in engineering applications before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Still used in some engineering contexts, particularly in countries that historically used the gravitational metric system. It provides a practical measure for engineers working with force-based calculations.

Centipoise
cP
Definition
The centipoise is a commonly used unit of dynamic viscosity, representing 10^-2 poise. It is widely used in industry for measuring the viscosity of various fluids.
History/Origin
This unit was created by applying the centi- prefix to the poise, providing a convenient scale for measuring low to moderate viscosities in industrial applications.
Current Use
Extensively used in the petroleum industry, chemical engineering, and food processing for measuring the viscosity of oils, polymers, and other fluids. It is often more convenient than the pascal second for practical applications.
