How to convert pascal seconds to centipoises
cP = Pa⋅s × 1,000Multiply the value in pascal seconds by 1,000. To go the other way, multiply by 0.001 (or divide by 1,000).
A pascal second is larger than a centipoise: one pascal second contains 1,000 centipoises.
Worked examples
- 1 pascal second1 Pa⋅s × 1,000 = 1,000 cP
- 5 pascal seconds5 Pa⋅s × 1,000 = 5,000 cP
- 10 pascal seconds10 Pa⋅s × 1,000 = 10,000 cP
- 20 pascal seconds20 Pa⋅s × 1,000 = 20,000 cP
- 100 pascal seconds100 Pa⋅s × 1,000 = 100,000 cP

About the units
Pascal second (Pa⋅s)
The SI unit of dynamic viscosity. Honey is around 2–10 Pa·s.
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).
Frequently asked questions
How many centipoises are in one pascal second?
There are 1,000 centipoises in one pascal second, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert pascal seconds to centipoises?
Multiply the number of pascal seconds by 1,000. For example, 10 Pa⋅s × 1,000 = 10,000 cP.
How many pascal seconds are in one centipoise?
One centipoise equals 0.001 pascal seconds. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 1,000.
What is 10 pascal seconds in centipoises?
10 Pa⋅s = 10,000 cP.
Is this Pa⋅s to cP 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.
