Viscosity Dynamic
Poise
Select Unit
Poise is a unit of measurement for dynamic viscosity. By definition, if a fluid with a viscosity of one poise is placed between two plates, and the top plate is pushed parallel to the bottom plate with a shear stress of one dyne per square centimeter, it moves a distance equal to the thickness of the fluid layer between the plates in one second. The symbol for Poise is P.
Use this Poise converter to change values into other viscosity dynamic units. Enter a value, choose the target unit, and review the converted result without applying the conversion factor by hand.
It is useful when a measurement is recorded in Poise but a formula, specification, or comparison requires another viscosity dynamic unit. The available target units are listed below the example and conversion table.
Poise is one of the units available in this viscosity dynamic category. Use the result as a reference, and retain suitable precision when the value will be used in a technical or scientific calculation.
The calculator formats results for readability. Display rounding can affect the last digits, so check the original input and the shown precision before copying a result into a report or further formula.
What is Poise?
Poise is a unit of measurement for dynamic viscosity. By definition, if a fluid with a viscosity of one poise is placed between two plates, and the top plate is pushed parallel to the bottom plate with a shear stress of one dyne per square centimeter, it moves a distance equal to the thickness of the fluid layer between the plates in one second.
When comparing Poise with another unit, make sure both values describe the same type of measurement. The converter applies the available unit relationship and presents the result in the target unit you select.
How to Use Poise Converter
- Select Poise from the first dropdown and enter the amount you want to convert.
- Choose the target unit from the second dropdown, such as Exapoise.
- The converter instantly calculates the value and displays the converted result.
- Use the result for comparison, calculations, or quick reference when working with viscosity dynamic measurements.
For repeated conversions, keep the source unit as Poise and change only the target unit. If the result will be used in another calculation, use the displayed precision as a guide and verify the final rounding required by your context.

Frequently asked questions about Poise conversion
What is the Poise converter used for?
It changes a value from Poise into another available viscosity dynamic unit for comparison, reference, or further calculation.Can I use this for everyday and technical conversions?
Yes. Select Poise as the source unit, choose the target unit, and review the result. Use appropriate precision when applying it to technical work.Why is Poise conversion important?
Measurements are often recorded in different unit scales. Converting Poise to the unit required by a formula or comparison makes the value easier to interpret.Poise to Other Units Conversion Table
