Convert Pa·s to Poise
Input the number of pascal seconds you want to convert to poise.
How to Convert Pascal Seconds to Poise
The pascal second and poise are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 pascal second equals exactly 10 poise. This means to convert pascal seconds to poise, you multiply by 10.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 Pa·s to poise:
We need to convert pascal seconds to poise
Since 1 Pa·s = 10 P, multiply by 10
5 × 10 = 50
5 Pa·s = 50 P

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.
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.
