centipoise to poise
Please provide values below to convert centipoise [cP] to poise [P], or change ↔.
centipoise [cP]
Definition: The centipoise is one one-hundredth of a poise and is commonly used to measure the viscosity of liquids.
Historyandorigin: Derived from the poise, it is more practical for measuring the viscosity of common fluids like water and oil.
CurrentUse: The centipoise is frequently used in industries like lubrication, cosmetics, and food science, where it is easier to work with than the larger poise unit.
funfact: Water has a viscosity of about 1 centipoise at 20°C—making it a useful baseline for viscosity measurements!
poise [P]
Definition: A poise is a unit of dynamic viscosity that measures the internal friction of a fluid. One poise is equivalent to one dyne·second per square centimeter.
Historyandorigin: Named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille, a French physicist who studied the flow of liquids, the poise was widely used in medical and laboratory settings.
CurrentUse: Though somewhat replaced by the pascal second, it can still be found in older scientific and engineering literature.
funfact: A poise is a relatively large unit of viscosity—most fluids have viscosities much smaller than one poise!

How to Convert centipoise to poise
1 centipoise [cP] = 10 poise [P]
1 poise [P] = 0.1 centipoise [cP]
we use cross multiplication method
centipoise [cP] → poise [P]
1 → 10
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*10=1*x
by simplifying
x=15
