What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms dynamic viscosity values measured in pascal seconds (Pa*s) into kilopoise (kP), enabling easier comparison and documentation of high-viscosity fluids using different measurement scales.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the dynamic viscosity value in pascal seconds (Pa*s).
  • Select the desired output unit as kilopoise (kP).
  • Click the convert button to get the corresponding viscosity in kilopoise.
  • Review the results and apply them for industrial or laboratory needs.

Key Features

  • Converts dynamic viscosity from pascal second (Pa*s) to kilopoise (kP).
  • Supports industry-relevant measurements for fluids with high internal resistance to shear flow.
  • Includes practical examples to illustrate typical conversions between units.
  • Browser-based and easy to use without requiring specialized software.

Examples

  • 5 Pa*s equals 0.05 kP
  • 20 Pa*s equals 0.2 kP

Common Use Cases

  • Expressing lubricant viscosity in mechanical design and maintenance of engines and gearboxes.
  • Reporting fluid rheology and quality control for paints, polymers, and industrial liquids.
  • Analyzing flow behavior and pressure drops in chemical and petroleum engineering pipelines.
  • Documenting very high viscosities of heavy crude oils and bitumen in rheology studies.
  • Characterizing polymer melts and concentrated suspensions during materials processing.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always double-check unit selections to ensure accurate conversions.
  • Be aware that kilopoise is a non-SI unit mostly used for very viscous fluids.
  • Use appropriate precision instruments to measure viscosity before converting.
  • Consider industry context to select the most relevant viscosity unit for reporting.

Limitations

  • Kilopoise is not part of the International System of Units and is less common in standardized modern measurements.
  • Conversions require caution due to the large scale difference between pascal second and kilopoise.
  • Measurement precision affects conversion accuracy, especially for fluids with low viscosity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does pascal second (Pa*s) measure?
Pascal second is the SI derived unit of dynamic viscosity, quantifying a fluid's resistance to shear flow.

Why use kilopoise (kP) instead of pascal second?
Kilopoise is useful for expressing very high viscosities in certain industries and facilitates comparison with older rheology data reported in the cgs system.

Is kilopoise an SI unit?
No, kilopoise is a non-SI unit and is used mainly for high viscosity fluids in specific industrial and laboratory contexts.

Key Terminology

Pascal second [Pa*s]
The SI derived unit of dynamic viscosity, representing shear stress per unit shear rate, equivalent to 1 N·s/m².
Kilopoise [kP]
A non-SI unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 1,000 poise, commonly used to report very high viscosities in industrial and laboratory settings.
Dynamic viscosity
A measure of a fluid's internal resistance to shear flow or deformation.
