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.

Kilopoise

kP

Definition

The kilopoise is a unit of dynamic viscosity, representing 10^3 poise. It is used for measuring the viscosity of moderately viscous materials in various applications.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the kilo- 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.
