Centipoise (cP): One hundredth of a poise: exactly 1 mPa·s. Water at 20 °C is about 1 cP.
Pascal second (Pa·s): SI unit of dynamic (absolute) viscosity. Water at 20 °C is about 0.001 Pa·s.

How to convert centipoise to pascal seconds
To convert centipoise to pascal seconds, multiply the number of centipoise by 0.001.
Formula
Pa·s = cP × 0.001
Examples
- 5 cP = 5 × 0.001 = 0.005 Pa·s
- 25 cP = 25 × 0.001 = 0.025 Pa·s
- 100 cP = 100 × 0.001 = 0.1 Pa·s

Frequently asked questions
- How many pascal seconds are in one centipoise?
- One centipoise is exactly 0.001 pascal seconds.
- How do I convert pascal seconds to centipoise?
- To convert pascal seconds to centipoise, multiply the number of pascal seconds by 1000. The formula is cP = Pa·s × 1000.
- Is this conversion exact?
- Yes. Both units have exact definitions and the factor 0.001 is exact. Displayed results are only rounded when they have many decimal places.
- Which is larger, a centipoise or a pascal second?
- A pascal second is 1000 times larger than a centipoise. In other words, a centipoise is exactly 1/1000 of a pascal second.
