Convert Square Centimeter per Second to Poise
Type the number of square centimeters per second that you wish to convert to poise.
How to Convert Square Centimeters per Second to Poise
The square centimeter per second and poise are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 poise equals exactly 1000 square centimeters per second. This means to convert square centimeters per second to poise, you divide by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 cm²/s to poise:
We need to convert square centimeters per second to poise
Since 1 P = 1000 cm²/s, divide by 1000
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 cm²/s = 0.005 P

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).
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.
