Convert Square Centimeter per Second to Centipoise
Enter the number of square centimeters per second that you want to convert to centipoise.
How to Convert Square Centimeters per Second to Centipoise
The square centimeter per second and centipoise are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 centipoise equals exactly 10 square centimeters per second. This means to convert square centimeters per second to centipoise, you divide by 10.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 cm²/s to centipoise:
We need to convert square centimeters per second to centipoise
Since 1 cP = 10 cm²/s, divide by 10
5 ÷ 10 = 0.5
5 cm²/s = 0.5 cP

About These Units
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).
Centipoise (cP)
The centipoise (cP) is the most widely used viscosity unit, equal to 0.01 poise or 1 mPa·s. Water at 20°C = 1 cP (reference point). Common fluids: milk 3 cP, SAE 10W motor oil 100 cP, honey 2,000-10,000 cP, ketchup 50,000-100,000 cP, peanut butter 250,000 cP.
