Dynamic Viscosity: Poise to Pascal-seconds

Pa·s = poise × 0.1. 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s.

1 poise = 0.1 Pa·s. Water is about 0.01 P (1 cP) at 20 °C. Honey is tens of poise. Centipoise is the lab slang: 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s.

How this calculator works

1 poise = 0.1 Pa·s. Water is about 0.01 P (1 cP) at 20 °C. Honey is tens of poise. Centipoise is the lab slang: 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s. Pa·s = poise × 0.1. 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s. Example: 1 P → 0.1 Pa·s. 1 cP → 0.001 Pa·s.

Pa·s = poise × 0.1. 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s.

Example: 1 P → 0.1 Pa·s. 1 cP → 0.001 Pa·s.

When to use this Poise to Pascal-seconds

Common use cases

  • 1 poise = 0.1 Pa·s. Water is about 0.01 P (1 cP) at 20 °C. Honey is tens of poise. Centipoise is the lab slang: 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s.
  • Sanity-check with this case: 1 P → 0.1 Pa·s. 1 cP → 0.001 Pa·s.
  • The relationship is: Pa·s = poise × 0.1. 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s.

How to Convert Poise to Pascal-seconds Step-by-Step

  1. 1Enter Poise. Use the values you have, not a catalog average, unless that is all you know.
  2. 2Pa·s = poise × 0.1. 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s.
  3. 3Worked case: 1 P → 0.1 Pa·s. 1 cP → 0.001 Pa·s.
  4. 4Check which dictionary the other person is using — US or UK, decimal or 1,024 — then trust the number.

Governing formula

Pa·s = poise × 0.1. 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s.

1 P → 0.1 Pa·s. 1 cP → 0.001 Pa·s.

Example: set Poise = 1, then read the result.

Very usable on mobile. Would love a save/export option later, but the math feels solid.

Simple inputs, clear outputs. This replaced three bookmarks I used to juggle.
