Viscosity

Viscosity Converter

Viscosity describes a fluid's resistance to flow

From Centipoise
To Pascal-second

cP → Pa s

0.001 Pa s

Viscosity describes a fluid's resistance to flow. Pascal-seconds, poise, centipoise, and pound-force seconds per square foot cover dynamic viscosity; stokes and centistokes cover kinematic viscosity using a water-density equivalence in this converter.
