cP
1 Pa·s equals 1000 cP
What this tool does
Viscosity datasheets mix SI and the older poise family freely, but the conversion is easy to remember: one centipoise is exactly one millipascal second, and water at 20 °C sits at almost exactly 1 cP. Note that this is dynamic viscosity, not the kinematic viscosity measured in centistokes.
Worked example
1 Pa·s 1000 cP

Limitations
- The calculation runs at full precision and only the display is rounded. If you copy an intermediate value and retype it, small differences can appear.
- Density changes with temperature, moisture and composition. Use a value from the supplier's data sheet whenever precision matters.
