How to convert centipoise to millipascal seconds
Dynamic viscosity relates shear stress to shear rate. It becomes kinematic viscosity only after division by density. For non-Newtonian fluids, the stated value may depend on shear rate.
Use x for the value in cP, b for the intermediate value in Pa·s, and y for the result in mPa·s.
mPa·s = cP × 0.001 ÷ 0.001
Worked examples
10 cP ≈ 10 mPa·s
Step 1: (10 × 0.001) ≈ 0.01 Pa·s.
Step 2: 0.01 ÷ 0.001 ≈ 10 mPa·s.20 cP ≈ 20 mPa·s
Step 1: (20 × 0.001) ≈ 0.02 Pa·s.
Step 2: 0.02 ÷ 0.001 ≈ 20 mPa·s.
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
About Centipoise
Centipoise (cP) measures viscosity dynamic under the conventions above. The base value in Pa·s is (x × 0.001), where x is the numerical value in cP. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
About Millipascal seconds
Millipascal seconds (mPa·s) measures viscosity dynamic under the conventions above. The base value in Pa·s is (x × 0.001), where x is the numerical value in mPa·s. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
