What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to change viscosity measurements from kilopoise (kP), a larger non-SI unit, to poise (P), a CGS unit commonly used in laboratories and industry. It helps express very high viscosities in a unit that is more standard for rheological data and fluid flow analysis.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the viscosity value in kilopoise (kP) into the input field.
  • Select kilopoise as the from-unit and poise as the to-unit.
  • Click the convert button to view the equivalent value in poise.

Key Features

  • Converts dynamic viscosity values from kilopoise to poise using the exact ratio.
  • Browser-based tool requiring no installation for quick conversions.
  • Supports applications in petroleum, polymer processing, and tribology.

Examples

  • 2 kP converts to 2000 P.
  • 0.5 kP converts to 500 P.

Common Use Cases

  • Reporting very high viscosities of heavy crude oils, bitumen, and tar.
  • Characterizing polymer melts and concentrated suspensions during materials processing.
  • Laboratory measurements using the CGS scale for highly viscous fluids.
  • Specifying lubricants and motor oils viscosity in tribology and engine design.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure unit clarity when switching between CGS and SI systems to avoid confusion.
  • Use this conversion for high-viscosity fluids where poise provides better resolution.
  • Double-check measurements and conversion results in rheology and industrial contexts.

Limitations

  • Kilopoise is a non-SI unit, less used than poise or pascal-second, limiting its adoption.
  • Caution is needed when interpreting results across different unit systems.
  • High values in kilopoise may be cumbersome; smaller units often offer better practicality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Key Terminology

Kilopoise [kP]
A non-SI unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 1,000 poise, used for measuring very high viscosities.
Poise [P]
The CGS unit of dynamic viscosity, equivalent to 0.1 pascal-second, used to quantify fluid internal resistance to shear flow.
Dynamic Viscosity
A property that measures a fluid's internal resistance to shear stress per unit velocity gradient.
