Convert Square Millimeter per Second to Poise
Enter the number of square millimeters per second that you want to convert to poise.
How to Convert Square Millimeters per Second to Poise
The square millimeter per second and poise are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 poise equals exactly 100000 square millimeters per second. This means to convert square millimeters per second to poise, you divide by 100000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 mm²/s to poise:
We need to convert square millimeters per second to poise
Since 1 P = 100000 mm²/s, divide by 100000
5 ÷ 100000 = 5e-5
5 mm²/s = 5e-5 P

About These Units
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.
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.
