A unit of measurement for viscosity, symbolized by P. Viscosity is the ratio of shear stress to shear rate, giving the traditional unit of dyne-sec/cm2 for poise. In metric (SI) units, 1 P is 0.1 Pa.s [..]

Unit of fluid viscosity in fire retardant, defined as tangential force per unit area (dynes/square centimeter) required to maintain unit difference in velocity (1 centimeter/second) between two parall [..]

A cgs unit of resistance to fluid flow (viscosity). If a force of 1 dyne is needed to force two fluid layers with 1 cm2 area that are 1 cm apart past each other at a speed of 1 cm/s, the liquid has a [..]

Mental balance.

A moveable weight that counterbalances the load on a scale.

A centimeter-gram-second unit of absolute viscosity equal to the viscosity of a fluid in which a value of stress of one dyne per square centimeter is required to maintain a difference of velocity of 1 centimeter per second between two parallel planes in the fluid that lie in the direction of flow and are separated by a distance of 1 centimeter.

Pump principle by which a rotor (usually metallic) turns within a stator (usually elastomeric). As the rotor turns, cavities are opened and closed progressing the product to the pump discharge.

Unit of viscosity, defined by the shear stress required to move one layer of fluid along another over a total thickness of one centimetre at a velocity of one centimetre per second. This viscosity is independent of fluid density, and directly related to flow resistance.

Fundamental and absolute unit of viscosity measurement. A substance is said to have a viscosity of 1 poise when a force of 1 dyne is required to move a surface of 1 cm².

a unit of viscosity equal to the viscosity of a fluid that would require a shearing force of one dyne to move a square-centimeter area of either of two parallel layers of fluid one centimeter apart, with a velocity of one centimeter per second relative to the other layer, with the space between the layers being filled with the fluid in question.
