How to use it
- Type the value in the poise 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 = P × 0.1
Multiply the value in poise by 0.1 to get pascal seconds.
Example
To convert 25 P to pascal seconds: 25 × 0.1 = 2.5 Pa·s.

About the units
- Poise
- The CGS unit of viscosity, one dyne second per square centimeter, exactly 0.1 pascal second.
- 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 poise?
1 P = 0.1 Pa·s exactly.
How do I convert poise to pascal seconds?
Use Pa·s = P × 0.1. For example, 25 P = 2.5 Pa·s.
How many poise are in one pascal second?
1 Pa·s = 10 P.
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.
