Reyn

In fluid dynamics, the reyn is a British unit of dynamic viscosity, named in honour of Osbourne Reynolds, for whom the Reynolds number is also named.[1]

Conversions

By definition,

1 reyn = 1 lbf s in−2.

It follows that the relation between the reyn and the poise is approximately

1 reyn = 6.89476 × 10 6 cP.

In SI units, viscosity is expressed in newton-seconds per square meter, or equivalently in pascal-seconds. The conversion factor between the two is approximately

1 reyn = 6890 Pa s.

gollark: Stupid hatchlings! I care not for your 1 and a half days left! ***GROW UP!***
gollark: I think I'm just going to put all my rareish stuff up separately at some point and get an utterly ridiculous amount of xenowyrms for the ~~acid mines~~ goals.
gollark: I should probably just add moar rareishes.
gollark: I'm only getting the "offers" part of "CB silver/gold or nice offers".
