📌 Standard Benchmark Reference Values
Water at 20 °C has a dynamic viscosity of approximately 1.002 cP (0.001002 Pa·s).
Exact RatioAbout Pascal Second (Pa·s)
The SI coherent derived unit of dynamic (absolute) viscosity, equal to the shear resistance of a fluid experiencing a velocity gradient of 1 (m/s)/m under a shear stress of 1 Pa (1 N·s/m²).
History: Standard physical viscosity unit adopted with the SI metric system in 1960.
Common Uses: Polymer rheology, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), petroleum reservoir modeling.
About Centipoise (cP)
One hundredth of a poise (10⁻² P), exactly equal to 0.001 Pa·s (1 mPa·s). Water at 20 °C has a viscosity of ≈ 1 cP.
History: The most widely used commercial and laboratory viscosity unit in chemical and paint industries.
Common Uses: Paints and coatings (500–3,000 cP), honey (2,000–10,000 cP), motor oils (SAE 30 ≈ 200 cP at 40 °C).
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How many Centipoise are in 1 Pascal Second?
There are exactly 1000 Centipoise in 1 Pascal Second (1 Pa·s = 1000 cP).
What is the formula to convert Pascal Second to Centipoise?
The formula is: Centipoise = Pascal Second × 1000. Since 1 Pascal Second = 1000 Centipoise, multiply the value in Pascal Seconds by 1000.
How do I convert 1 Pa·s to cP manually?
To convert 1 Pa·s to cP: apply the formula Centipoise = Pascal Second × 1000. Substituting gives: 1 × 1000 = 1000 cP.
