Centipoise

One centipoise is equal to 0.001 pascal seconds.

History: Centipoise became popular because water near room temperature is close to 1 cP.

Current use: Used for oils, coatings, polymers, food products, water, and lab viscosity measurements.

Also written as cP.

Poise

One poise is equal to 0.1 pascal seconds.

History: The poise is named after Jean Leonard Marie Poiseuille and was widely used in viscosity tables.

Current use: Used in older fluid-property references and as the parent unit of centipoise.

Also written as P.
