Convert Centipoise to mPa·s
Input the number of centipoise you want to convert to millipascal seconds.
How to Convert Centipoise to Millipascal Seconds
The centipoise and millipascal second are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 centipoise equals exactly 1 millipascal seconds. This means to convert centipoise to millipascal seconds, you multiply by 1.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 cP to millipascal seconds:
We need to convert centipoise to millipascal seconds
Since 1 cP = 1 mPa·s, multiply by 1
5 × 1 = 5
5 cP = 5 mPa·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.
Millipascal Second (mPa·s)
A millipascal second (mPa·s) equals 0.001 Pa·s and is exactly equal to one centipoise (cP). The most practical viscosity unit: water 1 mPa·s, milk 2-3 mPa·s, blood 3-4 mPa·s, olive oil 80 mPa·s, maple syrup 150-200 mPa·s. Standard for comparing common liquids.
