C'est la force par unité de surface, requise pour maintenir l'unité de vitesse entre deux plans parallèles séparés par un centimètre de fluide (dynes-secondes par cm²). Le centipoise est l'unité la plus commode à utiliser en pétrochimie et dans la technique des boues de forage. 4, record 1, French, - centipoise
