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.

Petapoise

PP

Definition

The petapoise is a very large unit of dynamic viscosity, representing 10^15 poise. It is used for measuring the viscosity of very viscous materials in specialized applications.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the peta- prefix to the poise, providing a scale for measuring very high viscosities in scientific and engineering contexts.

Current Use

Used in specialized applications where materials have very high viscosities, such as certain polymers, geological materials, and extremely thick fluids.
