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 Inch (lbf·s/in²): High-Pressure Viscosity Measurement

The Pound-force second per square inch (lbf·s/in²) is an imperial unit of dynamic viscosity, suitable for measuring fluid resistance under high-pressure conditions. It represents the force in pound-force required to move a fluid layer over another with a velocity gradient of one inch per second across a one-inch gap.

This unit is particularly relevant in high-pressure hydraulic systems and applications where precise viscosity measurements are critical for system performance and safety. Understanding and utilizing lbf·s/in² allows engineers to design and maintain systems that operate efficiently under demanding conditions.

To convert lbf·s/in² to SI units, multiply by approximately 6894.76, obtaining the equivalent value in Pascal seconds (Pa·s).
