Question 1

How do you convert centipoise to pascal-second?

Accepted Answer

Divide by 1000. 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s. Water is ~1 cP at 20°C. Honey is ~2000-10000 cP.

Question 2

What is centipoise?

Accepted Answer

CGS unit of dynamic viscosity. 1 cP = 0.01 poise. Water at 20°C ≈ 1 cP. Common in industry.

Question 3

What's the difference between dynamic and kinematic viscosity?

Accepted Answer

Dynamic viscosity (Pa·s, cP) measures flow resistance. Kinematic viscosity (m²/s, cSt) is dynamic viscosity divided by density, used in flow calculations.

Question 4

How does temperature affect viscosity?

Accepted Answer

Liquids generally become less viscous (thinner) when heated. Motor oil ratings (like 10W-40) indicate viscosity at cold (W) and hot operating temperatures.
