How to Convert Poise to Pascal-Seconds
Formula
Pa·s = Poise x 0.1
The Poise (P) is the CGS unit of dynamic viscosity, while the Pascal-second (Pa·s) is the SI unit. One Poise equals 0.1 Pa·s because 1 P = 1 g/(cm·s) and converting grams to kilograms and centimeters to meters introduces a factor of 0.1.

Example Calculation
Convert 10 Poise to Pascal-seconds.
- 01Apply the conversion: 1 P = 0.1 Pa·s
- 02Pa·s = 10 * 0.1 = 1.0 Pa·s
- 03Also: 10 P = 1,000 cP (centipoise)
