How to Convert Poise to Millinewton Second per Square Meter

Conversion Formula

1 P = 100 mN·s/m²
1 mN·s/m² = 0.01 P

Example

Convert 15 P to mN·s/m²:

15 P = 15 × 100 mN·s/m² = 1500 mN·s/m²

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.

Millinewton Second per Square Meter

mN·s/m²

Definition

The millinewton second per square meter is a smaller unit of dynamic viscosity, representing one-thousandth of a newton second per square meter. It is useful for measuring very low viscosities.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the milli- prefix to the newton second per square meter, providing a more convenient scale for measuring low-viscosity fluids such as gases and very thin liquids.

Current Use

Commonly used in fluid mechanics and engineering for measuring the viscosity of gases, very thin liquids, and low-viscosity fluids where the pascal second would be too large a unit.
