THE CONCEPT OF VISCOSITY - Columbia University
www.columbia.eduIn the SI system, viscosity is expressed in kg m-1 s-1; however, sometimes viscosity values are shown in terms of the equivalent units of N m-2 s or Pa s, where the Pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure and is equal to 1 Newton per square meter (Table A-1). The SI unit of viscosity is …
