How do you convert centipoises to pascal-seconds?
To convert centipoises to pascal-seconds, divide the number of centipoises by 1,000. 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s.
Pascal-Second = Centipoise ÷ 1,000
Centipoise, mPa·s and Pa·s
1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s = 1 mPa·s, so a viscosity written in centipoise has the same number in millipascal-seconds.
Water at 20 °C is about 1.0 cP (0.001 Pa·s). Honey is several thousand cP, which is why data sheets for oils, paints and resins often switch to Pa·s for thick liquids.
Important: This is dynamic viscosity. Kinematic viscosity (centistokes) also depends on density.

What is Centipoise?
Centipoise is a widely used practical unit of dynamic viscosity in industry; water at 20 °C has a viscosity of about 1 centipoise.
Short history of Centipoise
Centipoise is one thousandth of the CGS poise unit and became common because it produces more readable numbers for everyday liquids like motor oil and paint.

Pascal-second is the SI derived unit of dynamic viscosity, expressing a fluid's resistance to flow.
Short history of Pascal-Second
Derived from the SI units of pressure and time, the pascal-second became the standard scientific reference for dynamic viscosity in fluid mechanics.
