Understanding Centipoise (cP) and Pascal-second (Pa·s)

Official standards, measurement systems, and real-world everyday applications.

Source UnitMetric (CGS)

Centipoise (cP) [cP]

A centipoise is a CGS metric unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 0.001 Pascal-seconds (1 mPa·s). Pure water at 20°C has a viscosity of almost exactly 1.002 cP.

Common Practical Uses

Motor oils (SAE viscosity grades)Paints and coatingsFood syrups and honeyBlood viscosity (~3-4 cP)
Target UnitMetric (SI)

Pascal-second (Pa·s) [Pa·s]

The Pascal-second is the SI base derived unit of dynamic viscosity (1 N·s/m² or 1 kg/(m·s)), equal to 10 Poise or 1,000 cP.

Common Practical Uses

Fluid mechanics equations (Navier-Stokes)Industrial polymer melt rheologyHydraulic fluid specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

How many pascal-seconds are in 1 centipoise?

There are 0.001 pascal-seconds in 1 centipoise. Exactly 1 cP is equal to 0.001 Pa·s.

What is the formula to convert centipoise to pascal-seconds?

The conversion formula is: Pascal-second (Pa·s) = Pa·s = cP × 0.001. Applying this to 1 cP gives: 1 × 0.001 = 0.001 Pa·s.

How do you convert pascal-seconds back to centipoise?

To convert in reverse from pascal-seconds to centipoise, multiply by the inverse factor: 1 Pa·s = 1000 cP. Alternatively, divide your Pascal-second (Pa·s) amount by 0.001.

How can I estimate Centipoise (cP) to Pascal-second (Pa·s) without a calculator?

For quick estimates, divide the Centipoise (cP) value by 1000.

What is the difference between Centipoise (cP) and Pascal-second (Pa·s)?

Centipoise (cP) (cP) belongs to the Metric (CGS) system, commonly used in Motor oils (SAE viscosity grades), Paints and coatings, Food syrups and honey. In comparison, Pascal-second (Pa·s) (Pa·s) is part of the Metric (SI) system, frequently applied in Fluid mechanics equations (Navier-Stokes), Industrial polymer melt rheology, Hydraulic fluid specifications.

What are common benchmark conversions from Centipoise (cP) to Pascal-second (Pa·s)?

Key milestones include: 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s, 5 cP = 0.005 Pa·s, 10 cP = 0.01 Pa·s, 50 cP = 0.05 Pa·s, and 100 cP = 0.1 Pa·s.
