What are Millipoise and Poundal

Definition of Millipoise

Millipoise is a unit of dynamic viscosity in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, often used to measure the internal friction of a fluid. It is equal to one-thousandth of a poise or 0.001 poise. This unit represents the resistance a fluid exhibits when subjected to shear force. For example, water at 20°C has a viscosity of approximately 1 centipoise, or 10 millipoise. Understanding millipoise is crucial in industries like petrochemical and pharmaceuticals, where precise fluid dynamics play a vital role in various processes.

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, primarily used in engineering contexts. It is defined as the force necessary to accelerate a one-pound mass by one foot per second squared. The poundal is less commonly used than the newton but holds significance in certain engineering applications due to its compatibility with the FPS system. Understanding the poundal is essential for engineers and physicists working with force measurements in situations where the FPS units are preferred.
