Pascal second to Poise Converter

Use this page to convert pascal second values into poise, 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.

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.
