1 Poise (P) = 100 Centipoise (cP).

Poise (P):


Centipoise (cP):

If you want to reverse convert, use Centipoise → Poise. 1 cP = 0.01 P. You can also explore the full Dynamic Viscosity converter page for more cross conversions.

Conversion formula

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

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

How to convert Poise to Centipoise

To convert Poise to Centipoise, multiply the value in P by 100. This gives the result in cP.

For example, 1 P = 100 cP and 10 P = 1000 cP.

What is Poise?

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

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.
