Units of Dynamic Viscosity

Description

 • Dynamic viscosity has the dimension mass per length time. The SI composite unit of dynamic viscosity is the kilogram per meter second.
 • Maple knows the units of dynamic viscosity listed in the following table.

 Name Symbols Context Alternate Spellings Prefixes poise standard * SI reyn standard * SI rhe standard * SI

 An asterisk ( * ) indicates the default context, an at sign (@) indicates an abbreviation, and under the prefixes column, SI indicates that the unit takes all SI prefixes, IEC indicates that the unit takes IEC prefixes, and SI+ and SI- indicate that the unit takes only positive and negative SI prefixes, respectively.  Refer to a unit in the Units package by indexing the name or symbol with the context, for example, poise[standard]; or, if the context is indicated as the default, by using only the unit name or symbol, for example, poise.
 The units of dynamic viscosity are defined as follows.
 A poise is defined as a dyne second per square meter.
 A reyn is defined as a poundforce second per square inch.
 A rhe is defined as an inverse poise.
