Pascal seconds to Centipoise

1 pascal second = 1,000 centipoise · 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s

1 pascal second = 1,000 centipoise

How it’s calculated

cP = Pa·s × 1000

  • Multiply the value in pascal seconds by 1000.
  • To go back, divide by 1000 (or multiply by 0.001).
  • 1 Pa·s = 1,000 cP · 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s

  1. Find the conversion factor

    By definition 1 Pa·s = 1000 cP. Source: BIPM SI Brochure (9th ed.); NIST SP 811 / Handbook 44.

  2. Multiply by the factor written as a fraction

    Put Pa·s in the denominator so it cancels, leaving cP.

  3. Calculate (unrounded)

  4. Round the answer

    Rounded to 5 significant figures.

Answer: 1000 cP

1 Pa·s in other units

Batch convert Pa·s → cP
Results
  1. 1 Pa·s = 1000 cP
  2. 5 Pa·s = 5000 cP
  3. 10 Pa·s = 10000 cP
  4. 25 Pa·s = 25000 cP
