Convert Kilogram per Meter Second to Poise
Type the number of kilograms per meter second that you wish to convert to poise.
How to Convert Kilograms per Meter Second to Poise
The kilogram per meter second and poise are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 kilogram per meter second equals exactly 10 poise. This means to convert kilograms per meter second to poise, you multiply by 10.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 kg/(m·s) to poise:
We need to convert kilograms per meter second to poise
Since 1 kg/(m·s) = 10 P, multiply by 10
5 × 10 = 50
5 kg/(m·s) = 50 P

About These Units
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).
Poise (P)
The poise (P) is the CGS unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 0.1 Pa·s or 100 centipoise. Named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille who studied blood flow. Water is 0.01 P, glycerin is ~15 P at 20°C. One poise = 1 g/(cm·s) = 1 dyn·s/cm².
