How to use it
- Type the value in the centipoise box.
- Read the result in pascal seconds as you type, and pick the precision you need.
- Swap the direction to convert back, or copy the result.
How it is calculated
Pa·s = cP × 0.001
Multiply the value in centipoise by 0.001 to get pascal seconds.
Example
To convert 25 cP to pascal seconds: 25 × 0.001 = 0.025 Pa·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.
- Pascal second
- The SI unit of dynamic viscosity, equal to one kilogram per meter per second.
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 pascal seconds are in one centipoise?
1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s exactly.
How do I convert centipoise to pascal seconds?
Use Pa·s = cP × 0.001. For example, 25 cP = 0.025 Pa·s.
How many centipoise are in one pascal second?
1 Pa·s = 1,000 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.
