How to Convert Millipascal-seconds to Poise
Formula
To convert Millipascal-seconds (mPa·s) to Poise (P): multiply by 0.01
Step-by-Step
- Start with your value in Millipascal-seconds (mPa·s).
- Multiply by 0.01 to perform the conversion.
- The result is your value expressed in Poise (P).
Conversion Factor
1 mPa·s = 0.01 P
Reverse Factor
1 P = 100 mPa·s
Worked Example
Convert 25 Millipascal-seconds to Poise: 25 mPa·s = 0.25 P
About Millipascal-second (mPa·s)
A metric dynamic-viscosity unit equal to 0.001 Pa·s, numerically identical to the CGS centipoise. Convenient because water at room temperature is almost exactly 1 mPa·s — making mPa·s the natural unit for reporting viscosity of water-like fluids and dilute solutions. Pharmaceutical syrups, ink formulations, and biological fluids (blood plasma ~1.2–1.6 mPa·s) are commonly specified in mPa·s.
About Poise (P)
The CGS unit of dynamic viscosity, equal to 0.1 Pa·s. Named after French physician Jean Poiseuille, who studied blood flow in the 19th century. Although superseded by Pa·s in modern SI usage, poise still appears in older fluid-dynamics literature, geological rheology (rock/magma viscosities span 10¹⁰ to 10²¹ P), and some glass/polymer manufacturing tables.

Understanding Millipascal-seconds
The Millipascal-second (symbol: mPa·s) is a unit of dynamic viscosity. A metric dynamic-viscosity unit equal to 0.001 Pa·s, numerically identical to the CGS centipoise. Convenient because water at room temperature is almost exactly 1 mPa·s — making mPa·s the natural unit for reporting viscosity of water-like fluids and dilute solutions. Pharmaceutical syrups, ink formulations, and biological fluids (blood plasma ~1.2–1.6 mPa·s) are commonly specified in mPa·s.
It belongs to the metric measurement system.
Millipascal-seconds are commonly used in lubricant selection, chemical processing, and fluid dynamics.
Understanding Poise
The Poise (symbol: P) is a unit of dynamic viscosity. The CGS unit of dynamic viscosity, equal to 0.1 Pa·s. Named after French physician Jean Poiseuille, who studied blood flow in the 19th century. Although superseded by Pa·s in modern SI usage, poise still appears in older fluid-dynamics literature, geological rheology (rock/magma viscosities span 10¹⁰ to 10²¹ P), and some glass/polymer manufacturing tables.
