The cgs physical unit for dynamic viscosity is the poise (P), more commonly expressed, particularly in ASTM standards, as centipoise (cP)

In everyday terms (and for fluids only), viscosity is “thickness”. Thus, water is “thin”, having a lower viscosity, while honey is “thick”, having a higher viscosity.

Viscosity describes a fluid’s internal resistance to flow and may be thought of as a measure of fluid friction. See Newton’ expression: the constant μ is known as the coefficient of viscosity, the viscosity, the dynamic viscosity, or the Newtonian viscosity.
