Pascal seconds to Poises formula and what each symbol means
P = Pa·s × 10
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pa·s | Pascal second |
| P | Poise |
Pascal seconds to Poises examples
1 Pa·s
1 Pa·s × 10 = 10 P.
10 Pa·s
10 Pa·s × 10 = 100 P.
100 Pa·s
100 Pa·s × 10 = 1,000 P.
Pascal seconds compared with Poises
One Pa·s is 10 times as large as one P, so your number gets bigger when you convert pascal seconds to poises and smaller when you convert back. If the answer is not larger than what you typed, you divided instead of multiplying.
About pascal seconds and poises
Pascal second (Pa·s): The SI unit of dynamic viscosity. Poise (P): The poise, exactly 0.1 Pa·s.
How to calculate Pascal seconds to Poises step by step
- Enter the value in Pa·s (the starting unit).
- Multiply by 10, because 1 Pa·s = 10 P.
- The product is the value in P. To go back, divide by 10 or multiply by 0.1.

Common mistakes when calculating Pascal seconds to Poises
- Quoting a viscosity without its temperature.
- Dividing when you should multiply: from Pa·s to P multiply by 10; from P to Pa·s divide by 10.
Pascal seconds to Poises FAQ
How many P are in 1 Pa·s?
1 Pa·s equals 10 P.
How many Pa·s are in 1 P?
1 P equals 0.1 Pa·s.
Is 1 Pa·s = 10 P an exact conversion?
The factor is shown rounded to 7 significant figures (10). The calculator above uses more digits.
What is a pascal second (Pa·s)?
The SI unit of dynamic viscosity.
How can I estimate pascal seconds to poises in my head?
One Pa·s is 10 times as large as one P, so your number gets bigger when you convert pascal seconds to poises and smaller when you convert back. If the answer is not larger than what you typed, you divided instead of multiplying.
What is 40 Pa·s in poises?
40 Pa·s = 400 P (since 40 × 10).
What is 200 Pa·s in poises?
200 Pa·s = 2,000 P (since 200 × 10).
What is 3 Pa·s in poises?
3 Pa·s = 30 P (since 3 × 10).
How many decimals should I keep when converting Pa·s to P?
Match the precision of your original measurement. For example, 100 P rounds to 100 P at 3 significant figures; keep more digits only for engineering or scientific work.
