If you want to reverse convert, use Poise → Centipoise. 1 P = 100 cP. You can also explore the full Dynamic Viscosity converter page for more cross conversions.

Conversion formula

Centipoise to Poise formula: value in P = value in cP × 0.01.

Poise to Centipoise formula: value in cP = value in P × 100.

How to convert Centipoise to Poise

To convert Centipoise to Poise, multiply the value in cP by 0.01. This gives the result in P.

For example, 1 cP = 0.01 P and 10 cP = 0.1 P.

What is Centipoise?

Centipoise (cP): A dynamic-viscosity unit numerically equal to mPa·s, common on fluid data sheets. 1 cP = 1 mPa·s = 0.001 Pa·s.

What is Poise?

Poise (P): CGS dynamic viscosity; one poise contains a hundred centipoise. 1 P = 100 cP = 0.1 Pa·s.

FAQ

How many poise are in 1 centipoise?
