Manual No. M13-167-A0415
1. Viscosity appears in units of centipoise (cP), Poise (P), milliPascal-seconds (mPa•s) or Pascal-
seconds (Pa•s) on the DV3T Rheometer display or centistokes (cSt) or millimeter squared
per second (mm
2
/sec).
2. Shear Stress appears in units of dynes/square centimeter (D/cm
2
) or Newtons/square
meter (N/m
2
)/or Pascals (Pa).
3. Shear Rate appears in units of reciprocal seconds (1/sec).
4. Torque appears in units of dyne-centimeters or Newton-meters (shown as percent “%” in
both cases) on the DV3T Rheometer display.
5. Density appears in units of grams/cubic centimeter (g/cm
3
) or kilograms/cubic meter
(kg/m
3
).
Note:
To change CGS to SI units on the display (see Section IV.3: Global Settings).
The equivalent units of measurement in the SI system are calculated using the following conversions:
SI
CGS
Viscosity:
1 mPa•s
= 1 cP
Shear Stress:
1 Newton/m
2
= 10 dyne/cm
2
Torque:
1 Newton•m = 10
7
dyne•cm
References to viscosity throughout this manual are done in CGS units. The DV3T Rheometer provides
equivalent information in SI units.
