Convert Pa·s to Centipoise
Type the number of pascal seconds that you wish to convert to centipoise.
How to Convert Pascal Seconds to Centipoise
The pascal second and centipoise are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 pascal second equals exactly 1000 centipoise. This means to convert pascal seconds to centipoise, you multiply by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 Pa·s to centipoise:
We need to convert pascal seconds to centipoise
Since 1 Pa·s = 1000 cP, multiply by 1000
5 × 1000 = 5000
5 Pa·s = 5000 cP

About These Units
Pascal Second (Pa·s)
The Pascal second (Pa·s) is the SI unit of dynamic (absolute) viscosity—a fluid's resistance to shear flow. Water at 20°C: 0.001 Pa·s, motor oil: 0.1-0.3 Pa·s, honey: 2-10 Pa·s, molten glass: 10-1000 Pa·s. Formula: τ = η × (dv/dy). One Pa·s = 10 poise = 1000 centipoise.
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.
