Poise to centipoise Conversion
1 poise (P) is equal to 100 centipoise (cP).
1 P = 100 cP
or
1 cP = 0.01 P
Formula
To convert a dynamic viscosity from poise (P) to centipoise (cP), multiply the dynamic viscosity in poise by 100
d(cP) = d(P) × 100
Examples:
Convert 250 poise to centipoise:
d(cP) = 250P × 100 = 25000 cP

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert poise to centipoise?
Multiply the value in poise by 100 to get the result in centipoise. For example, 5 P × 100 = 500 cP.
How many centipoise are in 1 poise?
1 poise (P) is equal to 100 centipoise (cP).
How do I convert centipoise back to poise?
Use the inverse operation: divide the value in centipoise by 100 to get the result in poise.
How accurate is the poise to centipoise 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.
