Frequently Asked Questions

What is poise used to measure?
Poise is a CGS unit used to quantify dynamic viscosity, describing a fluid's resistance to shear flow.

Why convert from poise to kilogram-force second/square meter?
Conversion is useful for interpreting viscosity data between unit systems, especially for legacy equipment and engineering literature.

Is kilogram-force second per square meter an SI unit?
No, it is a non-SI unit commonly found in older engineering contexts and may require conversion to SI units for standardization.

Key Terminology

Poise [P]
The CGS unit of dynamic viscosity, defined as 1 gram per centimeter per second, quantifying fluid resistance to shear flow.
Kilogram-force second/square meter
A non-SI unit of dynamic viscosity expressing a fluid's resistance to shear deformation, equivalent to 9.80665 Pa·s.
Dynamic Viscosity
A measure of a fluid's internal resistance to flow or shear stress per unit shear rate.
