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
A poise is the base CGS unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 0.1 Pascal-seconds (1 dyn·s/cm² or 100 cP).
Common Practical Uses
Calculate from Poise (P) (P) back to Centipoise (cP) (cP).

There are 0.01 poise in 1 centipoise. Exactly 1 cP is equal to 0.01 P.
The conversion formula is: Poise (P) = P = cP × 0.01. Applying this to 1 cP gives: 1 × 0.01 = 0.01 P.
To convert in reverse from poise to centipoise, multiply by the inverse factor: 1 P = 100 cP. Alternatively, divide your Poise (P) amount by 0.01.
To calculate in your head, round the conversion multiplier (0.01) to the nearest easy whole or decimal number.
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, Poise (P) (P) is part of the Metric (CGS) system, frequently applied in Heavy lubricating oils, Molasses and polymers, Geological magma flow.
Key milestones include: 1 cP = 0.01 P, 5 cP = 0.05 P, 10 cP = 0.1 P, 50 cP = 0.5 P, and 100 cP = 1 P.
