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.

Newton Second per Square Meter

N·s/m²

Definition

The newton second per square meter is equivalent to the pascal second, representing the dynamic viscosity of a fluid when a force of one newton per square meter produces a velocity gradient of one meter per second per meter.

History/Origin

This unit is directly derived from the fundamental SI units of force (newton) and area (square meter). It provides an alternative expression for the pascal second using base SI units.

Current Use

Used in scientific and engineering contexts where it is more convenient to express viscosity in terms of force and area rather than pressure. It is mathematically equivalent to the pascal second.
