Medical - Medicina: Farmacia / viscosity analysis
Término o frase en español: 30'509 cP
I know cP is the unit of measure for viscosity.

My question is about the numbers written with an apostrophe (translating analysis of a pharmaceutical gel by a lab in Mexico): it says 30'509.74 cP for viscosity. Would this be 30 thousand (30,509.74)? From what I can determine, that would be a reasonable figure for the viscosity of a skin gel. Thanks.
