Unit Explanations
ExapoiseE
Source UnitThe exapoise is a non-SI unit of dynamic viscosity, defined as one quintillion poise (10^18 poise). Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow and deformation, with the poise defined as 1 gram per centimeter per second. Given its magnitude, exapoise is typically used in theoretical contexts or specific industrial applications involving extremely viscous materials, where typical viscosity units are impractical. The exapoise is particularly useful in high-viscosity scenarios, allowing scientists and engineers to express values that would otherwise be cumbersome.
Current Use
The exapoise is utilized primarily in specialized fields such as material science, polymer research, and high-viscosity fluid dynamics. It is relevant in scenarios involving extremely dense fluids, such as certain lubricants or industrial coatings. While not commonly used in everyday applications, it serves critical roles in research and development environments focusing on complex fluid behavior.
Fun Fact
The poise was named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille, a pioneer in fluid mechanics.
Pascal SecondPa·s
Target UnitThe pascal second (Pa·s) is the SI unit for dynamic viscosity, representing the internal friction of fluids. It quantifies the resistance of a fluid to flow when an external force is applied. A fluid with a dynamic viscosity of one pascal second will flow under a shear stress of one pascal at a rate of one meter per second. It is a derived unit, meaning it is defined in terms of the base SI units: kilograms (kg), meters (m), and seconds (s). The pascal second is critical in fluid dynamics, engineering, and various scientific disciplines where fluid behavior is studied.
Current Use
Today, the pascal second is widely used in various industries including chemical engineering, food processing, and materials science to characterize the flow properties of fluids. It is essential in applications involving lubrication, mixing, and fluid transport where understanding viscosity is crucial for efficiency and safety.
Fun Fact
The pascal second is named after Blaise Pascal, who also has the unit of pressure named after him.

viscosity • Non-SI
Definition
The exapoise is a non-SI unit of dynamic viscosity, defined as one quintillion poise (10^18 poise). Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow and deformation, with the poise defined as 1 gram per centimeter per second. Given its magnitude, exapoise is typically used in theoretical contexts or specific industrial applications involving extremely viscous materials, where typical viscosity units are impractical. The exapoise is particularly useful in high-viscosity scenarios, allowing scientists and engineers to express values that would otherwise be cumbersome.
History & Origin
The exapoise emerged in the 20th century, during the development of advanced fluid mechanics and materials science. It was conceived to provide a scale for extraordinarily viscous substances that could not be adequately described using conventional units. The need for such a unit arose particularly in industries dealing with polymeric substances or other highly viscous materials.
Etymology: The term 'exapoise' is derived from the prefix 'exa-', which denotes a factor of 10^18, combined with 'poise', named after French physicist Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille, who studied fluid dynamics.
Current Use
The exapoise is utilized primarily in specialized fields such as material science, polymer research, and high-viscosity fluid dynamics. It is relevant in scenarios involving extremely dense fluids, such as certain lubricants or industrial coatings. While not commonly used in everyday applications, it serves critical roles in research and development environments focusing on complex fluid behavior.

The pascal second is critical in fluid dynamics, engineering, and various scientific disciplines where fluid behavior is studied.
History & Origin
The pascal second was introduced as part of the metric system in the late 20th century, named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician and physicist known for his contributions to fluid mechanics and pressure. The unit was formalized in 1971 during the 14th General Conference on Weights and Measures, which aimed to standardize units for scientific accuracy and international communication.
Etymology: The term 'pascal' is derived from the name of Blaise Pascal, while 'second' refers to the time unit in the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the pascal second is widely used in various industries including chemical engineering, food processing, and materials science to characterize the flow properties of fluids. It is essential in applications involving lubrication, mixing, and fluid transport where understanding viscosity is crucial for efficiency and safety.
💡 Fun Facts
- •The pascal second is named after Blaise Pascal, who also has the unit of pressure named after him.
- •Dynamic viscosity can change with temperature; for example, heating honey makes it flow more easily.
- •The viscosity of air is significantly lower than that of most liquids, making it easier for objects to move through it.
