Centipoise to Pascal seconds
1 centipoise = 0.001 pascal seconds · 1 Pa·s = 1,000 cP
1 centipoise = 0.001 pascal seconds
How it’s calculated
Pa·s = cP × 0.001
- Multiply the value in centipoise by 0.001.
- To go back, divide by 0.001 (or multiply by 1000).
- 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s · 1 Pa·s = 1,000 cP

Find the conversion factor
By definition 1 Pa·s = 1000 cP. Source: NIST SP 811 / Handbook 44; BIPM SI Brochure (9th ed.).
Multiply by the factor written as a fraction
Put cP in the denominator so it cancels, leaving Pa·s.
Calculate (unrounded)
Round the answer
Rounded to 5 significant figures.
Answer: 0.001 Pa·s
1 cP in other units
Batch convert cP → Pa·s
- 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s
- 5 cP = 0.005 Pa·s
- 10 cP = 0.01 Pa·s
- 25 cP = 0.025 Pa·s
Quick examples
- 1 centipoise = 0.001 pascal seconds
- 5 centipoise = 0.005 pascal seconds
- 10 centipoise = 0.01 pascal seconds
- 25 centipoise = 0.025 pascal seconds
- 100 centipoise = 0.1 pascal seconds
