centipoise to poise
Please provide values below to convert centipoise [cP] to poise [P], or change ↔.
centipoise [cP]
Definition: A unit of viscosity equal to 0.01 poises.
Historyandorigin: A common subunit of the poise, frequently used in everyday viscosity measurements.
CurrentUse: Common in industries such as cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals to measure viscosity.
funfact: Water at 20°C has a viscosity of about 1 centipoise, making this unit a key reference for fluid consistency.
poise [P]
Definition: A unit of dynamic viscosity, named after French physicist Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille, where 1 poise equals 0.1 Pa·s.
Historyandorigin: Named after Poiseuille, who worked on fluid flow and viscosity in the 19th century.
CurrentUse: Widely used in physics and engineering, especially in the study of the flow of liquids like oils and syrups.
funfact: 1 poise is relatively large, so in practical use, millipoise or centipoise is often more common.

How to Convert centipoise to poise
1 centipoise [cP] = 0.01 poise [P]
1 poise [P] = 100 centipoise [cP]
we use cross multiplication method
centipoise [cP] → poise [P]
1 → 0.01
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.01=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.015
