About These Units
- Centipoise (cP)
- Exactly 0.001 Pa·s, or one hundredth of a poise. Water at about 20 °C is close to 1 cP, which makes the unit handy for oils, paints, inks, and laboratory viscometer readings.
- Poise (P)
- The centimeter-gram-second unit of dynamic viscosity, exactly 0.1 Pa·s, named after French physiologist Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille, who studied blood flow. It is mainly seen in older references, with centipoise more common today.
