Krebs to Poise Formula

Written by smackaay on September 4, 2009 Categories: Miscellaneous Tags: ,

Looking for a decent formula on the net for a Krebs to Poise conversion I’m left empty handed. I found a chart that had listed direct numerical conversions.

Here’s the Best Fit value in the Quadratic form ax^2+bx+c=y

y=0.00419037x^2+(-0.306745)x+6.40025
y=poise
x=krebs

It may be somewhat rough, but since KU is a unitless value…

    I want to know how to convert viscosity from Stormer to poise.

  • smackaay says:

    Krebs is the Stormer Viscometer units. Using this formula, should get you an approximate answer. Remember though, that poise is a measure of dynamic viscosity defined by shear. Krebs is affected by density of the sample due to the shape of the paddles and thus is difficult to convert, at least in my experience.
