Convert Millipoises to Micropascal-seconds
Convert Millipoises (mP) to Micropascal-seconds (µPa·s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
µPa·s = mP × 100
About Millipoises
The millipoise (mP) equals 10⁻⁴ Pa·s, an intermediate CGS unit between the micropascal-second gas range and the centipoise liquid range. It is occasionally used in older European scientific literature and in the textile industry for sizing-solution viscosity. Air at 20 °C is ≈ 0.185 mP; a 0.5% polymer solution might read 5-20 mP. 1 mP = 10⁻⁴ Pa·s = 0.1 cP.
About Micropascal-seconds
The micropascal-second (µPa·s) equals 10⁻⁶ Pa·s, the viscosity range of dilute gases at ambient conditions. Air at 20 °C has a dynamic viscosity of ≈18.5 µPa·s; helium ≈19.6 µPa·s; hydrogen ≈9.0 µPa·s. Gas turbine and aerodynamics calculations routinely work at this scale. 1 µPa·s = 10⁻⁶ Pa·s = 10⁻³ mPa·s = 10⁻⁵ cP.
