How to Convert Poise to Micropoise

Conversion Formula

1 P = 1000000 µP
1 µP = 0 P

Example

Convert 15 P to µP:

15 P = 15 × 1000000 µP = 15000000 µP

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.

Micropoise

µP

Definition

The micropoise is a unit of dynamic viscosity, representing 10^-6 poise. It is used for measuring the viscosity of very low-viscosity fluids such as gases and extremely thin liquids.

History/Origin

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

Current Use

Used in fluid mechanics and engineering for measuring the viscosity of gases, very thin liquids, and extremely low-viscosity fluids where the millipoise would be too large a unit.
