Pascal Second

Pa·s

Definition

The pascal second is the SI unit of dynamic viscosity, representing the resistance of a fluid to flow when a force is applied. It is defined as the viscosity of a fluid in which a force of one newton per square meter produces a velocity gradient of one meter per second per meter.

History/Origin

Named after Blaise Pascal, this unit was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) to provide a standardized measure of dynamic viscosity. It replaced the older CGS unit of poise in scientific and engineering applications.

Current Use

Widely used in engineering, physics, and fluid mechanics for characterizing the flow properties of liquids and gases. It is the standard unit in scientific literature and international standards for viscosity measurements.

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.
