Key Terminology
-
Gram/centimeter/second
-
The CGS unit of dynamic viscosity, representing the fluid's resistance to shear flow; 1 g/cm/s equals 1 poise.
-
Exapoise [EP]
-
A non-SI very large dynamic viscosity unit equal to 10¹⁸ poise, used for extremely high viscosity values or unit conversions between CGS and SI systems.
-
Dynamic viscosity
-
A measurement of a fluid’s resistance to shear or flow, often expressed in units like poise or pascal-second.
