How to use it
- Type the value in the centipoise box.
- Read the result in millipascal seconds as you type, and pick the precision you need.
- Swap the direction to convert back, or copy the result.
How it is calculated
mPa·s = cP × 1
Multiply the value in centipoise by 1 to get millipascal seconds.
Example
To convert 25 cP to millipascal seconds: 25 × 1 = 25 mPa·s.

About the units
- Centipoise
- One hundredth of a poise, exactly 0.001 pascal second, the most used unit for oils, paints and industrial fluids.
- Millipascal second
- A millipascal second is exactly one thousandth of a pascal second and equals one centipoise.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many millipascal seconds are in one centipoise?
1 cP = 1 mPa·s exactly.
How do I convert centipoise to millipascal seconds?
Use mPa·s = cP × 1. For example, 25 cP = 25 mPa·s.
How many centipoise are in one millipascal second?
1 mPa·s = 1 cP.
What is the difference between dynamic and kinematic viscosity?
Kinematic viscosity is dynamic viscosity divided by the fluid density, measured in square meters per second or centistokes. These converters cover dynamic viscosity only.
Why does one centipoise equal one millipascal second?
A poise is 0.1 pascal second, so one hundredth of it is 0.001 pascal second, which is one millipascal second.
