Formula
Formula
P = kg/(m·s) × 10
Multiply any value in kilograms per metre-second by 10 to obtain the value in poise.
Worked example
Convert 1 kg/(m·s) to P.
- 01Start with 1 kg/(m·s).
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 10 = 10 P.
Result1 kg/(m·s) = 10 P

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kg/(m·s) to P?
1 kg/(m·s) equals 10 P. To convert, multiply the value in kilograms per metre-second by 10.
How do I convert 1 kg/(m·s) to P?
1 kg/(m·s) = 10 P. For any value, multiply by 10.
How do I convert P back to kg/(m·s)?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.1. So 1 P = 0.1 kg/(m·s).
When would I need to convert kilogram per metre-second to poise?
Dynamic viscosity conversions between kg/(m·s) and P are common in fluid characterisation, pump and control valve sizing, pipeline pressure-drop calculations, and lubrication engineering. Centipoise (cP) and mPa·s are the most widely used units in process datasheets; Pa·s is required for most simulation tools.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
