How to Convert Poise to Dyne second/sq. centimeter

Converting Poise (P) to Dyne second/sq. centimeter (dyn·s/cm²) is a core calculation in Dynamic Viscosity, which quantifies a fluid's internal tangential resistance to shear deformation and laminar flow. Both units share an identical 1:1 scale equivalence within this physical measurement domain. They represent the exact same physical magnitude under different metrological designations or derived SI formulations (1 P ≡ 1 dyn·s/cm²). Any quantity expressed in Poise translates directly to Dyne second/sq. centimeter without mathematical scaling.

Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (pascal second (Pa·s)) without arbitrary rounding:

V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)

1. Source SI Bridge (k_source):1 P = 0.1 pascal second (Pa·s)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 dyn·s/cm² = 0.1 pascal second (Pa·s)

Step-by-step substitution for Poise → Dyne second/sq. centimeter:V(dyn·s/cm²) = V(P) × ( 0.1 / 0.1 ) = V(P) × 1

Mathematical FormulaValue in Dyne second/sq. centimeter = Value in Poise × 1Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.

Worked Example

For an engineering input of 75 P, applying the conversion factor yields exactly 75 dyn·s/cm². At larger operational scale, 240 Poise corresponds to 240 dyn·s/cm².

Inverse check: 1 dyn·s/cm² = 1 P.
