Centipoise to Poise Converter cP → P
1 centipoise (cP) = 0.01 poise (P). Type a value below — the conversion happens instantly, entirely on your device.
1 cP = 0.01 P
1 centipoise = 0.01 poise
1 × 0.01 = 0.01
1 cP equals 0.01 P, so multiplying by 0.01 converts the value. The result describes the exact same quantity — only the measuring stick changes.
How to convert centipoise to poise
poise = centipoise × 0.01 — multiply the centipoise value by 0.01.
Example: 10 cP = 0.1 P.
To convert the other way: centipoise = poise ÷ 0.01

About the units
What is a centipoise?
One-hundredth of a poise, equal to 1 mPa·s. The most-used practical unit — water is ~1 cP, motor oil tens to hundreds, honey around 10,000 cP.
What is a poise?
The CGS unit of dynamic viscosity, exactly 0.1 Pa·s. Named after Poiseuille; still common in older fluid-mechanics and lubricant literature.
Frequently asked questions
How many poise are in 1 centipoise?
1 centipoise (cP) = 0.01 poise (P).
What is the formula to convert centipoise to poise?
poise = centipoise × 0.01 — multiply the centipoise value by 0.01.
How do I convert cP to P without a calculator?
Multiply by 0.01 for a close estimate. Exact factor: 1 cP = 0.01 P.
Is this cP-to-P converter accurate and private?
Yes. It uses the exact internationally defined conversion factors and computes results locally in your browser — your input is never sent to a server, and the page keeps working offline.
