CM2/S 1KG/M.S KG/M3: in The SI System The Dynamic Viscosity Units Are N s/m2, Pa.s or Kg/m.s Where

The document discusses viscosity, defining it as the resistance of a fluid which is due to internal friction or resistance to layer flow within the fluid. It provides equations for dynamic or absolute viscosity and kinematic viscosity. It also discusses units of measurement for viscosity including Pa·s, Poise and centipoise.

ν = μ / ρ (2)

The dynamic or absolute viscosity can be expressed like


where
τ = μ dc/dy (1)
ν = kinematic viscosity
where
μ = absolute or dynamic viscosity
τ = shearing stress
ρ = density
μ = dynamic viscosity
In the SI-system the theoretical unit is m /s or commonly used Stoke (St) where

Equation (1) is known as the Newtons Law of Friction.

The dynamic viscosity is also often expressed in the metric CG

1 poise = 1 dyne s/cm2 = 1 g/cm.s = 1/10 Pa.s = 1/10 N.s/m

1 p = 100 cP
1 cP = 0.01 poise = 0.01 gram per cm second = 0.001 Pasc

Water at 68.4oF (20.2oC) has an absolute viscosity of one - 1 -
