Convert Poise to Kilogram per Meter Second
Type the number of poise that you wish to convert to kilograms per meter second.
How to Convert Poise to Kilograms per Meter Second
The poise and kilogram per meter second are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 kilogram per meter second equals exactly 10 poise. This means to convert poise to kilograms per meter second, you divide by 10.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 P to kilograms per meter second:
We need to convert poise to kilograms per meter second
Since 1 kg/(m·s) = 10 P, divide by 10
5 ÷ 10 = 0.5
5 P = 0.5 kg/(m·s)

About These Units
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.
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).
