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.
Conversion formula
1 Pa*s = 10 P
1 P = 0.1 Pa*s
Example: 0.001 Pa*s = 0.01 P
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.
