How to use it
- Type the value in the pascal 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 = Pa·s × 1,000
Multiply the value in pascal seconds by 1,000 to get centipoise.
Example
To convert 25 Pa·s to centipoise: 25 × 1,000 = 25,000 cP.

About the units
- Pascal second
- The SI unit of dynamic viscosity, equal to one kilogram per meter per second.
- 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 pascal second?
1 Pa·s = 1,000 cP exactly.
How do I convert pascal seconds to centipoise?
Use cP = Pa·s × 1,000. For example, 25 Pa·s = 25,000 cP.
How many pascal seconds are in one centipoise?
1 cP = 0.001 Pa·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.
