Centipoise is the amount of force required to move one layer of fluid in relation to another.

A viscometer can be used to measure centipoise.

One centipoise is equal to one hundredth of a poise.

(in some practices, one can use the following approximation: water at approximately 70 F (21 C) is about one centipoise).

It is expressed in cP (centipoise).

This mixer is ideal for mixing and kneading viscous pastes (up to 6 million centipoise) under atmospheric or vacuum conditions.

When determining centipoise, all other fluids are calibrated to the viscosity of distilled water at STP.

The end product usually starts at several hundred thousand centipoise and can reach as high as several million centipoise.

A centipoise is one one-hundredth of a poise, and one millipascal-second (mPa s) in SI units.

Centipoise is properly abbreviated cP, but the alternative abbreviations cps, cp, and cPs are also commonly seen.

The controller can calibrate the time-of-fall value to cup seconds (known as efflux cup), Saybolt universal second (SUS) or centipoise.

The analogous unit in the centimetre gram second system of units is the poise, and the viscosity of blood at 20 C is normally 10 centipoise (cP).

For single winter grade oils, the dynamic viscosity is measured at different cold temperatures, specified in J300 depending on the viscosity grade, in units of mPa s, or the equivalent older non-SI units, centipoise (abbreviated cP), using two different test methods.
