Convert centipoises to poises
1 cP = 0.01 P — exactly. Both units are defined against the SI, so this factor is a fraction, not an approximation.
0.01P
As a fraction: 1/100
1 cP = 0.01 P
How to convert centipoises to poises
Multiply the number of centipoises by 0.01 to get poises.
The exact factor is 0.01 — as a fraction, 1/100.
Centipoise: Numerically identical to mPa·s — the whole industry still speaks in centipoise.
