History & Background
The unit "Poise" honors French physicist Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille, who studied fluid flow in pipes in the 19th century.
Conversion Details
Dynamic viscosity measures a fluid's resistance to shear deformation. The SI unit is Pa·s.
Common: 1 Pa·s = 10 Poise = 1000 cP. Water at room temp is about 1 cP.
