Dyne second per square centimeter is a unit of measurement for dynamic viscosity. By definition, if a fluid with a viscosity of one dyne second per square centimeter is placed between two plates, and the top plate is pushed parallel to the bottom plate with a shear stress of one dyne per square centimeter, it moves a distance equal to the thickness of the fluid layer between the plates in one second. The symbol for Dyne Second/Square Centimeter is dyn·s/cm2.
Use this Dyne Second/Square Centimeter converter to change values into other viscosity dynamic units. Enter a value, choose the target unit, and review the converted result without applying the conversion factor by hand.
It is useful when a measurement is recorded in Dyne Second/Square Centimeter but a formula, specification, or comparison requires another viscosity dynamic unit. The available target units are listed below the example and conversion table.
Dyne Second/Square Centimeter is one of the units available in this viscosity dynamic category. Use the result as a reference, and retain suitable precision when the value will be used in a technical or scientific calculation.
The calculator formats results for readability. Display rounding can affect the last digits, so check the original input and the shown precision before copying a result into a report or further formula.
What is Dyne Second/Square Centimeter?
Dyne second per square centimeter is a unit of measurement for dynamic viscosity. By definition, if a fluid with a viscosity of one dyne second per square centimeter is placed between two plates, and the top plate is pushed parallel to the bottom plate with a shear stress of one dyne per square centimeter, it moves a distance equal to the thickness of the fluid layer between the plates in one second.
When comparing Dyne Second/Square Centimeter with another unit, make sure both values describe the same type of measurement. The converter applies the available unit relationship and presents the result in the target unit you select.
How to Use Dyne Second/Square Centimeter Converter
