millipascal second to poise
Convert millipascal second (mPa·s) to poise (P). Use an editable dynamic viscosity converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 mPa·s = 0.01 P
Conversion formula
One millipascal second equals 0.01 poise. Multiply your value in millipascal second by this factor to get poise. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 millipascal second:5 × 0.01 = 0.05 P

About these measurements
Dynamic viscosity describes resistance to shear flow.
The base reference used here is the pascal second. One millipascal second is 0.001 base units; one poise is 0.1 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert mPa·s to P?
Multiply the quantity in mPa·s by 0.01. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the poise to millipascal second converter.
