Unit Story
Poise
The poise is the CGS dynamic-viscosity unit. One poise equals 0.1 pascal-second or 100 centipoise.
Millipascal-second
One millipascal-second equals one centipoise. Water near room temperature is close to 1 mPa s, making this a practical scale for many liquids.
How This Conversion Works
Poise and millipascal-second are both used for dynamic viscosity conversions. This page converts 1 poise into 100 millipascal-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 poise (P) equals 0.1 pascal-second.
- 1 millipascal-second (mPa s) equals 0.001 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.
