Typical viscosity units

1 cP - centipoise = mPas -millipascal seconds
1 P  Poise = 100cP/ mPas
1 Pas = 1000cP / mPas

common viscosity terms - thixotropic  - pseudoplastic - dilatent - rheopectic

THIXOTROPIC  - material gets thinner over time at constant shear  / time dependent
PSEUDOPLASTIC - material gets thinner immediately with increasing shear / no time dependency
DILATENT - material gets thicker immediately with increasing shear / no time dependency
​RHEOPECTIC - material gets thicker over time at constant shear  / time dependent
