Viscosity Converter
Viscosity describes a fluid's resistance to flow
cP → Pa s
0.001 Pa s
Viscosity describes a fluid's resistance to flow. Pascal-seconds, poise, centipoise, and pound-force seconds per square foot cover dynamic viscosity; stokes and centistokes cover kinematic viscosity using a water-density equivalence in this converter.
