Unit Information

About Centipoise

Definition: Centipoise is a non-SI unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 1 mPa·s.

History: A centipoise is exactly 0.01 poise, and the viscosity of water at 20°C is almost exactly 1 cP.

Where it is used: The most common unit used by engineers to describe the thickness of liquids.
