Viscosity – Dynamic Converter

Comprehensive Viscosity – Dynamic Converter

Dynamic viscosity measures a fluid’s resistance to flow. It is a fundamental parameter in fluid dynamics and is expressed in various units. Our Viscosity – Dynamic Converter allows you to convert between multiple units—from the SI standard (pascal second) to units such as poise, centipoise, and even extremely large or small scales like exapoise or attopoise. Additionally, imperial units like pound-force second per square inch are also supported.

What Units Are Covered?

Our converter supports an extensive range of dynamic viscosity units with conversion factors defined relative to pascal second [Pa·s]:

• Pascal second [Pa·s] (base unit)

• Kilogram-force second/square meter (1 kgf·s/m² = 9.80665 Pa·s)

• Newton second/square meter (equals 1 Pa·s)

• Millinewton second/sq. meter (0.001 Pa·s)

• Dyne second/sq. centimeter (0.1 Pa·s)

• Poise [P] (0.1 Pa·s)

• Exapoise [EP] (1.0E+17 Pa·s)

• Petapoise [PP] (1.0E+14 Pa·s)

• Terapoise [TP] (1.0E+11 Pa·s)

• Gigapoise [GP] (1.0E+8 Pa·s)

• Megapoise [MP] (1.0E+5 Pa·s)

• Kilopoise [kP] (100 Pa·s)

• Hectopoise [hP] (10 Pa·s)

• Dekapoise [daP] (1 Pa·s)

• Decipoise [dP] (0.01 Pa·s)

• Centipoise [cP] (0.001 Pa·s)

• Poundal second/square foot (1.4881639436 Pa·s)

• Gram/centimeter/second (0.1 Pa·s)

• Slug/foot/second (47.8802589802 Pa·s)

• Pound/foot/second (1.4881639436 Pa·s)

• Pound/foot/hour [lb/(ft*h)] (0.0004133789 Pa·s)

How Does It Work?

The converter follows a two-step process:

1. Convert to the Base Unit:
   The input value is converted to pascal seconds using the conversion factor for the selected “From” unit.

2. Convert to the Target Unit:
   The value in Pa·s is then converted to the desired “To” unit using its corresponding conversion factor.

This process ensures precise and consistent conversions for all your dynamic viscosity calculations.
