About dynamic viscosity units

Convert Pa·s, centipoise, poise, reyn and lbf·s/ft².

Centipoise and millipascal-second are the same number, which is the only reason two systems of viscosity units have survived side by side.

Dimensional formula: M L⁻¹ T⁻¹. Every conversion on this page goes through the pascal second, using exact fractions rather than decimal approximations. Read how that works →
