Dynamic Viscosity Units Converter

Coversion factor: 1 Pa·s = 1000 cP

Additional information

Dynamic viscosity refers to the measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow when subjected to an applied force or shear stress. It quantifies the internal friction or "stickiness" within a fluid as it undergoes deformation or shear.

The standard unit for dynamic viscosity in the International System of Units (SI) is the Pascal-second (Pa·s) or (N·s/m²). It represents the force required to maintain a velocity gradient of one meter per second between two parallel planes separated by a distance of one meter.

In the US customary system of units, dynamic viscosity is commonly expressed using the unit pound-force second per square foot (lbf·s/ft²).
