Poises to Centistokes Converter

How to Convert Poises to Centistokes

This conversion depends on the density of the fluid. Assuming a density of 1 g/cm³ (like water), the conversion is as follows:

For more information about poises as a unit of measurement, visit our poises page.

Formula (for fluid with density of 1 g/cm³)

Centistokes = Poises × 100

or

cSt = P × 100

Step-by-step process

1. Take the measurement in poises
2. Multiply that number by 100
3. The result is the equivalent viscosity in centistokes (for a fluid with a density of 1 g/cm³).

Examples

• 1 P = 1 × 100 = 100 cSt
• 5 P = 5 × 100 = 500 cSt
• 10 P = 10 × 100 = 1,000 cSt
