How to Convert Centipoise to Millinewton Second per Square Meter

Conversion Formula

1 cP = 1 mN·s/m²
1 mN·s/m² = 1 cP

Example

Convert 15 cP to mN·s/m²:

15 cP = 15 × 1 mN·s/m² = 15 mN·s/m²

Centipoise

cP

Definition

The centipoise is a commonly used unit of dynamic viscosity, representing 10^-2 poise. It is widely used in industry for measuring the viscosity of various fluids.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the centi- prefix to the poise, providing a convenient scale for measuring low to moderate viscosities in industrial applications.

Current Use

Extensively used in the petroleum industry, chemical engineering, and food processing for measuring the viscosity of oils, polymers, and other fluids. It is often more convenient than the pascal second for practical applications.

Millinewton Second per Square Meter

mN·s/m²

Definition

The millinewton second per square meter is a smaller unit of dynamic viscosity, representing one-thousandth of a newton second per square meter. It is useful for measuring very low viscosities.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the milli- prefix to the newton second per square meter, providing a more convenient scale for measuring low-viscosity fluids such as gases and very thin liquids.

Current Use

Commonly used in fluid mechanics and engineering for measuring the viscosity of gases, very thin liquids, and low-viscosity fluids where the pascal second would be too large a unit.
