How to convert Poise to Dekapoise (P to daP)
To convert Poise to Dekapoise, multiply by 0.1. The formula is Poise × 0.1 = Dekapoise. See the example below.
1 Poise = 1 × 0.1 = 0.1 Dekapoises
Poise is a unit of measurement for dynamic viscosity. By definition, if a fluid with a viscosity of one poise 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 Poise is P.
Dekapoise is a unit of measurement for dynamic viscosity. Dekapoise is a multiple of dynamic viscosity unit poise. One dekapoise is equal to 10 poise. The symbol for Dekapoise is daP.
