Use the result as a reference and check the displayed precision before copying it into technical or scientific work. The last digits may be rounded for readability.
Poise and Centipoise describe the same viscosity dynamic measurement in different units. Converting between them makes values easier to compare when different unit systems are used.

How to convert Poise to Centipoise (P to cP)

To convert Poise to Centipoise, multiply by 100. The formula is Poise × 100 = Centipoise. See the example below.

1 Poise = 1 × 100 = 100 Centipoises

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.
Centipoise is a unit of measurement for dynamic viscosity. Centipoise is a decimal fraction of dynamic viscosity unit poise. One centipoise is equal to 0.01 poise. The symbol for Centipoise is cP.

How to Use Poise to Centipoise Converter

  • Select Poise from the first dropdown and enter the value you want to convert.
  • Choose Centipoise in the second dropdown to set the target unit.
  • Review the converted value in the output field.
  • Check the displayed precision before using the result in another calculation.
For another result, change the input value or either selected unit. The conversion uses the unit definitions in the calculator and formats the result for display.
