Pascal second to Centipoise Converter

Use this page to convert pascal second values into centipoise, with background details, formulas, a worked example, and a quick conversion table.

Pascal second

Pascal second measures resistance to shear as pressure multiplied by time.

History: Pascal second became the SI expression for dynamic or absolute viscosity.

Current use: Used in fluid mechanics, lubrication, polymer processing, pumps, pipes, and materials testing.

Also written as Pa*s.

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.
