Convert Centipoise to Millipoise
Convert centipoise to millipoise by entering a value below.
How to Convert Centipoise to Millipoise
The centipoise and millipoise are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 centipoise equals exactly 10 millipoise. This means to convert centipoise to millipoise, you multiply by 10.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 cP to millipoise:
We need to convert centipoise to millipoise
Since 1 cP = 10 mP, multiply by 10
5 × 10 = 50
5 cP = 50 mP

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.
Millipoise (mP)
A millipoise (mP) equals 0.001 poise or 0.1 cP. Used for low-viscosity fluids and gases. Air at 20°C: 0.18 mP, water at 100°C: 2.8 mP, acetone: 3.1 mP. Provides finer resolution than centipoise for thin fluids and gases.
