Unit Story
Centipoise
Centipoise is common in laboratory, food, coating, oil, and manufacturing data. Its convenient water-near-one scale makes viscosity values easier to compare.
How This Conversion Works
Centipoise and gram per centimeter-second are both used for dynamic viscosity conversions. This page converts 1 centipoise into 0.01 gram per centimeter-second using the formula shown below.
Use this result for quick checks, comparisons, and everyday reference. For work that depends on exact precision, review the rounding setting and the assumption note before using the number.
The precision controls let you switch between a shorter result, the standard readable result, and scientific notation when the value is very large or very small.
Unit Notes
- 1 centipoise (cP) equals 0.001 pascal-second.
- 1 gram per centimeter-second (g/(cm s)) equals 0.1 pascal-second.

- Assumption
- Dynamic viscosity measures a fluid's resistance to flow. Values depend strongly on temperature and can also change with pressure, composition, and shear rate. Kinematic viscosity is a different measurement and requires density for conversion.
