How to convert dynamic viscosity units

Dynamic (absolute) viscosity: pascal-seconds, poise, centipoise and imperial units. For stokes or cSt, use Kinematic Viscosity. Every conversion goes through one base unit, the pascal second, using exact factors, so results don’t drift.

Centipoise to pascal seconds (cP to Pa·s)

To convert centipoise to pascal seconds, divide by 1,000. 1 centipoise = 0.001 pascal seconds.

cP	Pa·s
1 cP	0.001 Pa·s
2 cP	0.002 Pa·s
5 cP	0.005 Pa·s
10 cP	0.01 Pa·s
20 cP	0.02 Pa·s
50 cP	0.05 Pa·s
100 cP	0.1 Pa·s

Pascal seconds to centipoise (Pa·s to cP)

To convert pascal seconds to centipoise, multiply by 1,000. 1 pascal second = 1,000 centipoise.

Pa·s	cP
1 Pa·s	1,000 cP
2 Pa·s	2,000 cP
5 Pa·s	5,000 cP
10 Pa·s	10,000 cP
20 Pa·s	20,000 cP
50 Pa·s	50,000 cP
100 Pa·s	100,000 cP

Poise to centipoise (P to cP)

To convert poise to centipoise, multiply by 100. 1 poise = 100 centipoise.

Centipoise to millipascal seconds (cP to mPa·s)

To convert centipoise to millipascal seconds, multiply by 1. 1 centipoise = 1 millipascal second.
