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.

Pound per Foot per Hour

lb/(ft·h)

Definition

The pound per foot per hour is an imperial unit of dynamic viscosity, representing the resistance of a fluid to flow when a force of one pound-force per square foot is applied over a time period of one hour.

History/Origin

This unit originates from the imperial system of measurements, where mass is measured in pounds, length in feet, and time in hours. 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.
