Dynamic viscosity units for fluid resistance to shear. Kinematic viscosity is kept separate because relating the two requires density.
All factors come from the central conversion registry.
| Unit | Symbol | System | Definition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pascal-second | Pa·s | SI | 1 Pa·s = 1 kg/(m·s) |
| Millipascal-second | mPa·s | SI | 1 mPa·s = 0.001 Pa·s |
| Poise | P | CGS | 1 P = 0.1 Pa·s |
| Centipoise | cP | CGS | 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s |
| Micropoise | µP | CGS | 1 µP = 10⁻⁷ Pa·s |
