Millipoise

mP

Definition

The millipoise is a unit of dynamic viscosity, representing 10^-3 poise. It is used for measuring the viscosity of low-viscosity fluids such as gases and very thin liquids.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the milli- prefix to the poise, providing a scale for measuring 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 low-viscosity fluids where the poise would be too large a unit.

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.
