Convert Centipoise to Kilogram per Meter Second
Convert centipoise to kilograms per meter second by entering a value below.
How to Convert Centipoise to Kilograms per Meter Second
The centipoise and kilogram per meter second are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 kilogram per meter second equals exactly 1000 centipoise. This means to convert centipoise to kilograms per meter second, you divide by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 cP to kilograms per meter second:
We need to convert centipoise to kilograms per meter second
Since 1 kg/(m·s) = 1000 cP, divide by 1000
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 cP = 0.005 kg/(m·s)

About These Units
Centipoise (cP)
The centipoise (cP) is the most widely used viscosity unit, equal to 0.01 poise or 1 mPa·s. Water at 20°C = 1 cP (reference point). Common fluids: milk 3 cP, SAE 10W motor oil 100 cP, honey 2,000-10,000 cP, ketchup 50,000-100,000 cP, peanut butter 250,000 cP.
Kilogram per Meter Second (kg/(m·s))
Kilograms per meter-second (kg/(m·s)) is another SI form of dynamic viscosity, showing the mass-length-time dimensions. Equivalent to Pa·s and N·s/m². Useful for dimensional analysis in fluid mechanics. Water at 20°C: 0.001 kg/(m·s).
