  2. List of viscosities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_viscosities

    In engineering, the unit is usually Stoke or centiStoke, with 1 Stoke = 0.0001 m^2/s, and 1 centiStoke = 0.01 Stoke. For liquid, the dynamic viscosity is usually in the range of 0.001 to 1 Pascal-second, or 1 to 1000 centiPoise. The density is usually on the order of 1000 kg/m^3, i.e. that of water. Consequently, if a liquid has dynamic ...

  3. Poise (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poise_(unit)

    1 cm −1 ⋅g⋅s −1. SI units. 0.1 Pa⋅s. The poise (symbol P; / pɔɪz, pwɑːz /) is the unit of dynamic viscosity (absolute viscosity) in the centimetre–gram–second system of units (CGS). [1] It is named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille (see Hagen–Poiseuille equation ). The centipoise (1 cP = 0.01 P) is more commonly used than ...

    10 −14 qs: The length of one Planck time (t P = / ≈ 5.39 × 10 −44 s) [3] is the briefest physically meaningful span of time. It is the unit of time in the natural units system known as Planck units. 10 −30: quectosecond: qs Quectosecond, (quecto-+ second), is one nonillionth of a second 10 −27: rontosecond: rs

  5. Counts per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counts_per_minute

    Counts per minute (abbreviated to cpm) is a measure of the detection rate of ionization events per minute. Counts are only manifested in the reading of the measuring instrument, and are not an absolute measure of the strength of the source of radiation. Whilst an instrument will display a rate of cpm, it does not have to detect counts for one ...

  6. Background radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_radiation

    About 4,000 nuclei of 40 K [18] decay per second, and a similar number of 14 C. The energy of beta particles produced by 40 K is about 10 times that from the beta particles from 14 C decay. 14 C is present in the human body at a level of about 3700 Bq (0.1 μCi) with a biological half-life of 40 days.

  7. Mantoux test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantoux_test

    The first test is read 48–72 hours after injection. If the first test is positive, consider the person infected. If the first test is negative, give a second test one to three weeks after the first injection. The second test is read 48–72 hours after injection. If the second test is positive, consider the person infected in the distant past ...

  8. Sievert - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sievert

    The sievert (symbol: Sv[ note 1 ]) is a unit in the International System of Units (SI) intended to represent the stochastic health risk of ionizing radiation, which is defined as the probability of causing radiation-induced cancer and genetic damage. The sievert is important in dosimetry and radiation protection.

  9. Viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity

    Viscosity is defined scientifically as a force multiplied by a time divided by an area. Thus its SI units are newton-seconds per square meter, or pascal-seconds. [1] Viscosity quantifies the internal frictional force between adjacent layers of fluid that are in relative motion. [1]
