The poise is a unit of dynamic viscosity in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is used to measure a fluid's resistance to flow. One poise is defined as the viscosity of a fluid that exerts a shear stress of one dyne per square centimeter when subjected to a shear rate of one reciprocal second.
