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.

Pound-force Second per Square Foot

lbf·s/ft²

Definition

The pound-force second per square foot 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.

History/Origin

This unit originates from the imperial system of measurements, where force is measured in pounds-force and area in square feet. 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.
