Poise (P)
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.

1 Pa·s = 10 P
To convert poise to pascal second, multiply by 0.1.
To convert pascal second to poise, multiply by 10.
Example: convert 10 P to Pa·s
10 × 0.1 = 1 Pa·s
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
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.
The pascal second (Pa·s) is the SI unit of dynamic viscosity — resistance to shear flow under an applied stress.
Pascal seconds quantify fluid resistance in CFD, polymer processing, and lubrication engineering calculations.
Pa·s = P × 0.1P = Pa·s × 10, using the same exact factors as this converter.Jump to any viscosity-dynamic conversion starting from poise — including the reverse direction and every other unit in our dataset.
