Convert cP to Pa·s
Pascal-Seconds (Pa·s):
0 Pa·s
Data Source and Methodology
All calculations are based on the standard conversion formula for viscosity measurements. For authoritative data, please refer to the International Engineering Standards.
Formula used: 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s. All calculations are derived from this base formula.
The Formula Explained
Formula: \( \text{Pa·s} = \text{cP} \times 0.001 \)
Glossary of Terms
- Centipoise (cP): A unit of dynamic viscosity.
- Pascal-Seconds (Pa·s): The SI unit of dynamic viscosity.
How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example
To convert 10 cP to Pa·s, multiply by 0.001: \( 10 \times 0.001 = 0.01 \, \text{Pa·s} \).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
