How to Convert Poise to Millistokes
The poise and millistokes are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 poise equals exactly 1000000 millistokes. This means to convert poise to millistokes, you multiply by 1000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 P to millistokes:
We need to convert poise to millistokes
Since 1 P = 1000000 mSt, multiply by 1000000
5 × 1000000 = 5000000
5 P = 5000000 mSt

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.
Millistokes (mSt)
A millistokes (mSt) equals 0.001 stokes or 0.1 centistokes. Used for low-viscosity fluids: water is 10 mSt at 20°C. Provides finer resolution for thin fluids like solvents, fuels, and aqueous solutions. Rarely used; centistokes preferred.
