Convert Centipoise to Square Centimeter per Second
Type the number of centipoise that you wish to convert to square centimeters per second.
How to Convert Centipoise to Square Centimeters per Second
The centipoise and square centimeter per second are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 centipoise equals exactly 10 square centimeters per second. This means to convert centipoise to square centimeters per second, you multiply by 10.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 cP to square centimeters per second:
We need to convert centipoise to square centimeters per second
Since 1 cP = 10 cm²/s, multiply by 10
5 × 10 = 50
5 cP = 50 cm²/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.
Square Centimeter per Second (cm²/s)
Square centimeters per second (cm²/s) equals one stokes (St). Water at 20°C: 0.01 cm²/s, motor oil: 1-5 cm²/s at 40°C. One cm²/s = 100 mm²/s = 100 cSt. Bridges between SI (m²/s) and common industrial units (cSt).
