Viscosity Converter Calculator
Convert dynamic viscosity between pascal-second, poise, centipoise, and millipascal-second. The form asks for a Value, From unit, and To unit, then returns the chosen conversion and all supported units.
Viscosity measures resistance to flow, not the amount of fluid moving through a pipe. Water, oil, syrups, paints, and industrial fluids may be reported in different unit systems, so conversion helps compare specifications. For related fluid work, the flow rate converter, density converter, and temperature converter may be useful.
How to use this calculator
- Enter a nonnegative viscosity value.
- Select Pa⋅s, P, cP, or mPa⋅s as the starting unit.
- Select the target unit.
- Confirm the measurement temperature before comparing fluids.
Conversion formula
The calculator converts through Pa⋅s.
| Unit | Factor in Pa⋅s |
|---|---|
| 1 Pa⋅s | 1 |
| 1 P | 0.1 |
| 1 cP | 0.001 |
| 1 mPa⋅s | 0.001 |
Worked example: 0.75 Pa⋅s ÷ 0.001 = 750 cP. Since cP equals mPa⋅s, the same value is 750 mPa⋅s.
| Common conversion | Result |
|---|---|
| 1 Pa⋅s | 1,000 cP |
| 1 P | 100 cP |
| 1 cP | 1 mPa⋅s |
