Conversion Formula
$$cP = mPa·s \times 1$$
Multiply the value in Millipascal-second by 1 to get Centipoise.

mPa·s to cP in Engineering
Dynamic (absolute) viscosity is critical for pipe flow calculations, lubrication engineering, and chemical process design. The centipoise (cP) is the most commonly used unit in practice, where water at 20°C has a viscosity of approximately 1.002 cP.
Millipascal-second: Equal to 1 centipoise. Numerically identical to cP. Water at 20°C ≈ 1.002 mPa·s.
Centipoise: Most common practical viscosity unit. Water at 20°C ≈ 1.002 cP. Standard in petroleum and chemical engineering.
