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

About the units
- Millipascal second
- A millipascal second is exactly one thousandth of a pascal second and equals one centipoise.
- Centipoise
- One hundredth of a poise, exactly 0.001 pascal second, the most used unit for oils, paints and industrial fluids.
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 centipoise are in one millipascal second?
1 mPa·s = 1 cP exactly.
How do I convert millipascal seconds to centipoise?
Use cP = mPa·s × 1. For example, 25 mPa·s = 25 cP.
How many millipascal seconds are in one centipoise?
1 cP = 1 mPa·s.
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.
