Viscosity-Dynamic Centipoise Poise

1 centipoise = 0.01 poises

From

Format

Selected cP values converted to P using the exact factor from this tool.

Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.

1 cP = 0.01 P

1 P = 100 cP

To convert centipoise to poise, multiply by 0.01.

To convert poise to centipoise, multiply by 100.

Example: convert 10 cP to P

10 × 0.01 = 0.1 P

Short background on the units used in this conversion.

Centipoise (cP) equals 0.001 Pa·s. Water at 20°C has a dynamic viscosity of approximately 1 centipoise.

Centipoise is the everyday lab and industry unit for liquid viscosity — from water (~1 cP) to motor oils (hundreds of cP).

Poise (P) equals 0.1 Pa·s — the CGS unit of dynamic viscosity. One poise equals 100 centipoise.

Poise appears in older rheology literature and polymer datasheets alongside the centipoise subunit.

How many poises are in one centipoise?

One centipoise equals 0.01 poises. Multiply your centipoises value by 0.01 to convert to poises.

What is the conversion formula?

P = cP × 0.01

The reverse is cP = P × 100, using the same exact factors as this converter.
