Formula
Formula
P = mPa·s × 0.01
Multiply any value in millipascal-seconds by 0.01 to obtain the value in poise.
Worked example
Convert 100 mPa·s to P.
- 01Start with 100 mPa·s.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.01 = 1 P.
Result100 mPa·s = 1 P

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from mPa·s to P?
1 mPa·s equals 0.01 P. To convert, multiply the value in millipascal-seconds by 0.01.
How do I convert 1 mPa·s to P?
1 mPa·s = 0.01 P. For any value, multiply by 0.01.
How do I convert P back to mPa·s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 100. So 1 P = 100 mPa·s.
When would I need to convert millipascal-second to poise?
Dynamic viscosity conversions between mPa·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).
