Micropoise
µP
Definition
The micropoise is a unit of dynamic viscosity, representing 10^-6 poise. It is used for measuring the viscosity of very low-viscosity fluids such as gases and extremely thin liquids.
History/Origin
This unit was created by applying the micro- prefix to the poise, providing a scale for measuring very low viscosities in scientific and engineering contexts.
Current Use
Used in fluid mechanics and engineering for measuring the viscosity of gases, very thin liquids, and extremely low-viscosity fluids where the millipoise would be too large a unit.

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.
