Description

The Poise (P): A CGS Unit of Dynamic Viscosity

The Poise (P) is a unit of dynamic viscosity in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, named after French physician Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille. It measures the resistance of a fluid to flow, defined as one dyne-second per square centimeter.

In SI units, 1 Poise equals 0.1 Pascal seconds (Pa·s). While the Poise is less commonly used today, it remains relevant in specific scientific contexts, particularly in rheology and fluid mechanics studies.

Understanding the Poise is essential for professionals dealing with legacy data or working in fields where CGS units are still prevalent, ensuring accurate interpretation and application of viscosity measurements.

Pound-Force Second per Square Foot (lbf·s/ft²): Imperial Unit of Dynamic Viscosity

The Pound-force second per square foot (lbf·s/ft²) is an imperial unit of dynamic viscosity, expressing the force in pound-force required to move a fluid layer over another with a velocity gradient of one foot per second across a one-foot gap.

This unit is primarily used in the United States and other countries employing the imperial system, particularly in industries like aerospace and mechanical engineering. It facilitates the analysis and design of systems involving fluid flow and lubrication within the imperial measurement framework.

Converting lbf·s/ft² to SI units involves multiplying by approximately 47.8803, yielding the equivalent value in Pascal seconds (Pa·s).
