Pascal second
Pascal second measures resistance to shear as pressure multiplied by time.
History: Pascal second became the SI expression for dynamic or absolute viscosity.
Current use: Used in fluid mechanics, lubrication, polymer processing, pumps, pipes, and materials testing.
Also written as Pa*s.
Centipoise
One centipoise is equal to 0.001 pascal seconds.
History: Centipoise became popular because water near room temperature is close to 1 cP.
Current use: Used for oils, coatings, polymers, food products, water, and lab viscosity measurements.
Also written as cP.
