Convert Poise to Square Centimeter per Second
Convert poise to square centimeters per second by entering a value below.
How to Convert Poise to Square Centimeters per Second
The poise and square centimeter per second are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 poise equals exactly 1000 square centimeters per second. This means to convert poise to square centimeters per second, you multiply by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 P to square centimeters per second:
We need to convert poise to square centimeters per second
Since 1 P = 1000 cm²/s, multiply by 1000
5 × 1000 = 5000
5 P = 5000 cm²/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.
Square Centimeter per Second (cm²/s)
Square centimeters per second (cm²/s) equals one stokes (St). Water at 20°C: 0.01 cm²/s, motor oil: 1-5 cm²/s at 40°C. One cm²/s = 100 mm²/s = 100 cSt. Bridges between SI (m²/s) and common industrial units (cSt).
