Viscosity Converter
Convert dynamic viscosity between Pa·s, poise and centipoise.
Viscosity is a fluid's resistance to flow — thin water versus thick honey — and it's measured in pascal-seconds in SI or the older poise and centipoise still common in labs and industry. Water sits at about 1 centipoise, which is exactly why the centipoise remains such a handy reference unit.
This converter moves any dynamic viscosity between Pa·s, mPa·s, poise and centipoise, useful for oils, paints, coatings, food processing and any datasheet that quotes the property in a unit your calculation doesn't use.
