How do you convert poises to centipoises?
Multiply the number of poises by 100 to get centipoises.
What is 1 cP in poises?
One centipoise is 0.01 poises.
What is 10 P in cP?
10 P = 1000 cP.
What exactly is a centipoise?
Numerically identical to mPa·s — the whole industry still speaks in centipoise.
