Convert dynamic viscosity units including pascal-seconds, poise, centipoise, millipascal-seconds, pound-force seconds per square foot, pound per foot second, and more.
Pascal-seconds to centipoise:
1 Pa·s = 1,000 cP
Centipoise to pascal-seconds:
1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s
Poise to pascal-seconds:
1 P = 0.1 Pa·s
Millipascal-seconds to centipoise:
1 mPa·s = 1 cP
Dynamic viscosity conversions are useful for fluid mechanics, hydraulic systems, lubrication, oil analysis, chemical processing, polymer flow, pump sizing, pipe pressure loss, and material testing.
Use this converter when comparing SI, CGS, and U.S. customary viscosity units.
Your result shows the entered dynamic viscosity converted from the starting unit into the selected ending unit. The calculator also shows the conversion rate used so you can verify the calculation.
For engineering and fluid calculations, make sure the viscosity unit matches your formula, pump data, fluid chart, material data sheet, or lab result.
Dynamic viscosity measures a fluid’s internal resistance to flow when shear is applied.
The SI unit of dynamic viscosity is the pascal-second, abbreviated as Pa·s.
Yes. 1 centipoise equals 1 millipascal-second.
Dynamic viscosity measures resistance to flow, while kinematic viscosity is dynamic viscosity divided by density.
This converter is designed for viscosity magnitude conversions, so it uses non-negative values.
