How to Convert Poise to Millipascal-seconds
Formula
To convert Poise (P) to Millipascal-seconds (mPa·s): multiply by 100
Step-by-Step
- Start with your value in Poise (P).
- Multiply by 100 to perform the conversion.
- The result is your value expressed in Millipascal-seconds (mPa·s).
Conversion Factor
1 P = 100 mPa·s
Reverse Factor
1 mPa·s = 0.01 P
Worked Example
Convert 25 Poise to Millipascal-seconds: 25 P = 2500 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 Although superseded by Pa·s in modern SI usage, poise still appears in older fluid-dynamics literature, geological rheology (rock/magma viscosities span 10¹⁰ to 10²¹ P), and some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.
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.
