Poise

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002836

A unit of dynamic viscosity in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units, representing the tangential force per unit area required to maintain a unit velocity gradient between two parallel planes separated by a unit distance. It is equivalent to one dyne-second per square centimeter. The centipoise (cP), which is one-hundredth of a poise, is more commonly used in drilling fluid measurements.
