Pascal-seconds to Poise

Snapshot

1 Pascal-seconds equals 10 Poise. Conversion Encyclopedia uses the same fixed conversion basis across the calculator, common values, and reverse page for this page.

Reference basis: This conversion uses a fixed factor based on physics reference unit model.
Example: For 0.1 Pascal-seconds, the result equals 1 Poise.
Use the reverse page if you need the opposite direction with the same basis.

Explanation

Formula: Poise = Pascal-seconds × 10. Why: poise is a CGS dynamic-viscosity unit with a fixed pascal-second equivalent, so the route moves through Pa·s and preserves one deterministic factor.

Pascal-seconds (Pa-s): the SI unit of dynamic viscosity, expressing resistance to shear flow under applied stress.

Poise (P): a CGS viscosity unit equal to exactly 0.1 pascal-seconds.

This route is useful when comparing modern SI dynamic-viscosity values with CGS poise-based references used in older technical and lab literature.

This conversion is purely multiplicative because both units reduce through pascal-seconds using fixed dynamic-viscosity definitions with no offset.

Method & Reference

Method basis: exact conversion formula shown in Snapshot.
Applied factor: 1 Pascal-seconds = 10 Poise.
Consistency rule: calculator output and table values use the same constants and rounding policy.

Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What result does this Pascal-seconds to Poise page give for an input of 1?

For an input of 1 Pascal-seconds, this page gives 10 Poise.

Does this Pascal-seconds to Poise page use the fixed pascal-second equivalent for poise?

Yes. Poise uses a fixed pascal-second equivalent on this page, so modern SI and older CGS viscosity references stay aligned through one deterministic normalization path.

When would I convert pascal-seconds to poise?
