About the centipoise
The centipoise (cP) is a Metric unit of dynamic viscosity. Water at 20 °C is about 1 cP; motor oil is a few hundred.
About the pascal second
The pascal second (Pa·s) is a SI unit of dynamic viscosity.
Where this conversion is used
Converting centipoises to pascal seconds comes up when lubricant specifications, coatings, adhesives, and pipe-flow calculations. Water at 20 °C sits at almost exactly 1 centipoise, which makes it a convenient mental benchmark.
