How to Convert Picopoise to Poise

Conversion Formula

1 pP = 1E-12 P
1 P = 1E+12 pP

Example

Convert 15 pP to P:

15 pP = 15 × 1E-12 P = 1E-11 P

Picopoise

pP

Definition

The picopoise is a unit of dynamic viscosity, representing 10^-12 poise. It is used for measuring the viscosity of extremely low-viscosity fluids in specialized applications.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the pico- prefix to the poise, providing a scale for measuring extremely low viscosities in specialized scientific and engineering contexts.

Current Use

Used in specialized scientific and engineering applications where materials have extremely low viscosities, such as gases and very thin liquids.

Poise

P

Definition

The poise is a unit of dynamic viscosity in the CGS system, named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille. It represents the viscosity of a fluid in which a force of one dyne per square centimeter produces a velocity gradient of one centimeter per second per centimeter.

History/Origin

Named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille, a French physicist who studied fluid flow. The poise was the standard unit of dynamic viscosity in the CGS system and is still widely used in many industries.

Current Use

Extensively used in the petroleum industry, chemical engineering, and food processing for measuring the viscosity of oils, polymers, and other fluids. It is often more convenient than the pascal second for practical applications.
