What Is This Tool?

This converter allows users to translate dynamic viscosity measurements from kilopoise, a non-SI unit used for very high viscosities, into the cgs unit gram per centimeter per second, commonly used in rheological testing and lubrication analysis.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the viscosity value in kilopoise (kP) you want to convert
  • Select kilopoise as the input unit and gram/centimeter/second as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in g/cm/s

Key Features

  • Converts dynamic viscosity effortlessly from kilopoise to gram/centimeter/second
  • Browser-based and easy to use without installation
  • Supports applications across petroleum, polymer processing, tribology, and food industry
  • Applies a straightforward conversion formula with a rate of 1 kP = 1000 g/cm/s

Examples

  • Convert 5 kilopoise to gram/centimeter/second: 5 kP × 1000 = 5000 g/cm/s
  • Convert 0.2 kilopoise to gram/centimeter/second: 0.2 kP × 1000 = 200 g/cm/s

Common Use Cases

  • Reporting very high viscosities of heavy crude oils, bitumen, and tar in rheology data
  • Characterizing polymer melts and concentrated suspensions in materials processing
  • Laboratory measurements documenting viscosities on the cgs scale
  • Analyzing lubricating oils and greases for tribology and mechanical design
  • Testing polymer melts, industrial fluids, and paints rheologically
  • Quality control of viscous food products such as syrups and sauces

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure viscometers and rheometers are properly calibrated for accurate measurements
  • Carefully interpret large numerical changes due to scale difference between kP and g/cm/s
  • Use this conversion to standardize viscosity data for cross-comparison in laboratory or industrial settings

Limitations

  • Kilopoise is a non-SI unit, necessitating careful conversion for SI-based integration
  • Measurement accuracy depends on calibration of instruments used for high viscosities
  • Small changes in kilopoise may correspond to large changes in gram/centimeter/second values, requiring attentive data analysis

Frequently Asked Questions

What does kilopoise measure?
Kilopoise measures dynamic (absolute) viscosity representing a fluid's internal resistance to shear stress.

Why convert kilopoise to gram/centimeter/second?
Converting kP to g/cm/s helps users analyze high viscosities on a common cgs scale for better comparison and detailed rheological evaluation.

Is kilopoise an SI unit?
No, kilopoise is a non-SI unit, so its use requires conversion for compatibility with metric system measurements.

Key Terminology

Kilopoise (kP)
A non-SI unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 1,000 poise, used for measuring very high viscosities.
Gram/centimeter/second (g/cm/s)
The cgs unit of dynamic viscosity quantifying a fluid’s internal resistance to shear flow, equal to one poise.
Dynamic Viscosity
A measure of a fluid's resistance to shear stress, reflecting how it flows under applied forces.
