PoiseLook up poise in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
The poise (symbol P; IPA: /pwɑːz/) is the unit of dynamic viscosity in the centimetre gram second system of units. It is named after Jean Louis Marie Poiseuille.
Additional recommended knowledgeThe analogous unit in the International System of Units is the pascal second (Pa·s):
The poise is often used with the metric prefix centi-. A centipoise is one millipascal-second (mPa·s) in SI units. (1 cP = 10-2P = 10-3 Pa·s) Centipoise is properly abbreviated cP, but the alternate abbreviations cps and cPs are also commonly seen. Water has a viscosity of 0.0089 poise at 25 °C, or 1 centipoise at 20 °C. |
