Convert Poise to Square Millimeter per Second
Enter the number of poise that you want to convert to square millimeters per second.
How to Convert Poise to Square Millimeters per Second
The poise and square millimeter per second are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 poise equals exactly 100000 square millimeters per second. This means to convert poise to square millimeters per second, you multiply by 100000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 P to square millimeters per second:
We need to convert poise to square millimeters per second
Since 1 P = 100000 mm²/s, multiply by 100000
5 × 100000 = 500000
5 P = 500000 mm²/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 Millimeter per Second (mm²/s)
Square millimeters per second (mm²/s) is exactly equal to centistokes (cSt)—the most common kinematic viscosity unit for oils. Water 1 mm²/s, ISO VG 32 hydraulic oil 32 mm²/s at 40°C, SAE 10W-30 motor oil 70-110 mm²/s at 40°C. Standard for lubricant classification.
