Millipascal second quick reference
| Millipascal second | Pascal second | Centipoise | Poise |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mPa·s | = 0.001 Pa·s | = 1 cP | = 0.01 P |
| 10 mPa·s | = 0.01 Pa·s | = 10 cP | = 0.1 P |
| 100 mPa·s | = 0.1 Pa·s | = 100 cP | = 1 P |
| 1000 mPa·s | = 1 Pa·s | = 1000 cP | = 10 P |
Where the millipascal second fits
The next larger dynamic viscosity unit is the poise (P). 1 mPa·s = 0.01 P, and 1 P = 100 mPa·s.
