Poise - Poise (English spelling)

Japanese: ポアズ - ぽあず(英語表記)poise
Poise - Poise (English spelling)

The unit of viscosity in the CGS system. Its symbol is P. It is written as grams per centimeter per second. Although it is a non-SI unit, it is exceptionally designated as a legal unit of measurement in the Japanese Measurement Act. For the viscosity of free-flowing liquids, centipoise is more practical, but it is a non-SI unit. For example, acetone has a viscosity of 0.324 centipoise at 20°C. The viscosity of gases is often expressed in micropoises; air has a viscosity of 181 micropoise at 20°C. It is named after Jean LM Poiseuille (1799-1869), a French physician and physicist.

CGS単位系の粘度の単位。記号はP。グラム毎センチメートル毎秒と表記される。非SI単位であるが、日本の計量法では例外的に法定計量単位として定められている。自由に流れている液体の粘度の場合はセンチポアズが実用的であるが、非SI単位に属す。たとえばアセトンは20℃で0.324センチポアズの粘度をもつ。気体の粘度はしばしばマイクロポアズで表される。空気は20℃で181マイクロポアズである。名称は、フランスの医師・物理学者のポアズイユJean L. M. Poiseuille(1799―1869)にちなむ。
