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.

Centipoise
cP
Definition
The centipoise is a commonly used unit of dynamic viscosity, representing 10^-2 poise. It is widely used in industry for measuring the viscosity of various fluids.
History/Origin
This unit was created by applying the centi- prefix to the poise, providing a convenient scale for measuring low to moderate viscosities in industrial applications.
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.
