This converter transforms a dynamic viscosity value from one unit into all other supported viscosity units. Each unit is defined relative to the Pascal-second (Pa·s) as the base unit, so the converter multiplies by the source factor and divides by the target factor.
Dynamic viscosity measures a fluid's resistance to flow under an applied force. The SI unit is the Pascal-second (Pa·s), and a common CGS unit is the Poise (P).
Divide the centipoise value by 1,000. For example, water at 20°C has a viscosity of about 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s.
Dynamic viscosity measures resistance to flow, while kinematic viscosity is dynamic viscosity divided by fluid density. This converter handles dynamic viscosity only.
