Type a value in any of the fields to convert between Viscosity measurements:
A unit of measurement for viscosity equivalent to one-hundredth of a poise and symbolized by cP.
centipoise (cP) (= millipascal second, mPa·s)
The dyne is defined as "the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared".

A gram- force, is a gravitational unit of force. That is one gram force is defined as the force exerted by one gram of mass in the standard value of a gravitational field.

A micropoise (µP) is a decimal fraction of the unit of dynamic (absolute) viscosity in the centimeter gram second (CGS) system of units, poise.

The newton-second (N times s) is the standard unit of impulse. It is expressed as the product of applied force multiplied by time.

This is the SI unit of viscosity, equivalent to newton-second per square meter (N·s m–2). It is sometimes referred to as the “poiseuille” (Pl). One poise is exactly 0.1 Pa·s. One poiseuille is 10 poise or 1000 cP, while 1 cP = 1 mPa·s (one millipascal-second).
pascal second

A poise is the centimeter-gram-second (cgs) unit of viscosity.

Pounds or Pounds Force per Square Foot is a British (Imperial) and American pressure unit which is directly related to the psi pressure unit by a factor of 144 (1 sq ft = 12 in x 12 in = 144 sq in). 1 pound per square foot equals 47.8803 pascals.

The pound per square inch or, more accurately, pound-force per square inch (symbol: lbf/in2; abbreviation: psi) is a unit of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.
