Key Terminology
-
Millipoise [mP]
-
A CGS-based unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 0.001 poise, used for low-viscosity fluids and fine measurement resolution.
-
Nanopoise [nP]
-
A submultiple unit of poise representing very small dynamic viscosity values, where 1 nP equals 10⁻⁹ poise.
-
Dynamic Viscosity
-
A measure of a fluid's resistance to deformation under shear stress, commonly expressed in units like poise and pascal-seconds.
