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

How to convert pascal seconds to centipoise
To convert pascal seconds to centipoise, multiply the number of pascal seconds by 1000.
Formula
cP = Pa·s × 1000
Examples
- 5 Pa·s = 5 × 1000 = 5000 cP
- 25 Pa·s = 25 × 1000 = 25000 cP
- 100 Pa·s = 100 × 1000 = 100000 cP

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