Method and calculation
Convert dynamic viscosity through the pascal second: value × source factor / target factor. Factors relative to pascal second: Pa·s = 1; mPa·s = 0.001; P = 0.1; cP = 0.001; lb/(ft·s) = 1.48816394357.
Inputs and settings
Dynamic Viscosity Converter accepts Value (minimum 0); From unit (Pa·s, mPa·s, P, cP, lb/(ft·s)); To unit (Pa·s, mPa·s, P, cP, lb/(ft·s)).
Worked example
Dynamic Viscosity Converter example — Value: 1; From unit: "Pa·s"; To unit: "mPa·s". Computed output: { "value": 1000, "unit": "mPa·s", "baseValue": 1, "baseUnit": "pascal second" }
Output and limitations
Dynamic viscosity measures a fluid’s resistance to shear. Pascal-seconds and poise describe the same physical property; one centipoise equals one millipascal-second. Oil viscosity changes strongly with temperature, so compare specification values measured at the same temperature.
