Centipoise to poise Conversion
1 centipoise (cP) is equal to 0.01 poise (P).
1 cP = 0.01 P
or
1 P = 100 cP
Formula
To convert a dynamic viscosity from centipoise (cP) to poise (P), divide the dynamic viscosity in centipoise by 100
d(P) = d(cP) / 100
Examples:
Convert 50 centipoise to poise:
d(P) = 50cP / 100 = 0.5 P

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert centipoise to poise?
Divide the value in centipoise by 100 to get the result in poise. For example, 5 cP ÷ 100 = 0.05 P.
How many poise are in 1 centipoise?
1 centipoise (cP) is equal to 0.01 poise (P).
How do I convert poise back to centipoise?
Use the inverse operation: multiply the value in poise by 100 to get the result in centipoise.
How accurate is the centipoise to poise conversion?
The converter multiplies by the conversion factor 100 and rounds the result to 9 decimal places by default. You can increase or reduce the precision with the digits option on this page.
