Frequently Asked Questions
Pascal-second (Pa·s, the SI unit), Poise, and Centipoise — all dynamic (not kinematic) viscosity units.
Dynamic viscosity measures a fluid's resistance to shear/flow directly, while kinematic viscosity is dynamic viscosity divided by density — this tool only converts dynamic viscosity units, so converting to a kinematic unit like centistokes would additionally require the fluid's density.
Standard published conversion factors (1 Centipoise = 0.001 Pa·s, water's viscosity is about 1 Centipoise at room temperature) with results shown to 6 decimal places.
