About this calculator

Dynamic viscosity unit conversions. Water at 20°C ≈ 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s. Honey: ~10,000 cP at room temp. Glycerin: ~1500 cP. Motor oil: 100-1000 cP depending on grade and temp. Engineering: Pa·s (SI). Chemistry / industry: cP. Old-school physics: poise. 1 cP = 1 mPa·s — these two are functionally interchangeable.

Frequently asked

Water: 1 cP. Olive oil: 80-100 cP. Honey: 10,000 cP. Pancake batter: 2000 cP. Tar: 30,000 cP.
