How to convert centipoises to pascal seconds
Pa⋅s = cP × 0.001Multiply the value in centipoises by 0.001. To go the other way, multiply by 1,000 (or divide by 0.001).
A centipoise is smaller than a pascal second: it takes 1,000 centipoises to make one pascal second.

About the units
Centipoise (cP)
One hundredth of a poise, equal to 1 mPa·s. Water at 20 °C is about 1.002 cP. One centipoise equals 0.001 pascal seconds (Pa⋅s).
Pascal second (Pa⋅s)
The SI unit of dynamic viscosity. Honey is around 2–10 Pa·s.
Frequently asked questions
How many pascal seconds are in one centipoise?
There are 0.001 pascal seconds in one centipoise, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert centipoises to pascal seconds?
Multiply the number of centipoises by 0.001. For example, 10 cP × 0.001 = 0.01 Pa⋅s.
How many centipoises are in one pascal second?
One pascal second equals 1,000 centipoises. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 0.001.
What is 10 centipoises in pascal seconds?
10 cP = 0.01 Pa⋅s.
Is this cP to Pa⋅s converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
