Units and assumptions
Uses pascal seconds. One centipoise equals one millipascal second. Pound-per-foot-second uses pound mass, not pound-force. Converting to kinematic viscosity requires density; this tool does not assume a fluid or temperature. Values are rounded to 12 significant figures for display.
Calculator results use floating-point arithmetic and are rounded for display. The reference table below uses up to 12 significant digits.
