The SI unit of dynamic viscosity is the newton-second per square meter (N·s/m 2), also frequently expressed in the equivalent forms pascal-second (Pa·s), kilogram per meter per second (kg·m −1 ·s −1) and poiseuille (Pl). The CGS unit is the poise (P, or g·cm −1 ·s −1 = 0.1 Pa·s), [28] named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille.
For dynamic viscosity, the SI unit is Pascal-second. In engineering, the unit is usually Poise or centiPoise, with 1 Poise = 0.1 Pascal-second, and 1 centiPoise = 0.01 Poise. For kinematic viscosity, the SI unit is m^2/s. In engineering, the unit is usually Stoke or centiStoke, with 1 Stoke = 0.0001 m^2/s, and 1 centiStoke = 0.01 Stoke.
A centipoise is one hundredth of a poise, or one millipascal-second (mPa⋅s) in SI units (1 cP = 10 −3 Pa⋅s = 1 mPa⋅s). [4] The CGS symbol for the centipoise is cP. The abbreviations cps, cp, and cPs are sometimes seen. Liquid water has a viscosity of 0.00890 P at 25 °C at a pressure of 1 atmosphere (0.00890 P = 0.890 cP = 0.890 mPa⋅s).
By definition, 1 reyn = 1 lb f s in −2.. It follows that the relation between the reyn and the poise is approximately . 1 reyn = 6.89476 × 10 4 P.. In SI units, viscosity is expressed in newton-seconds per square meter, or equivalently in pascal-seconds.
The third edition of the IUPAC Green Book, for example, lists Pa⋅s (pascal-second) as the SI-unit for dynamic viscosity, and does not mention the poiseuille. The equivalent CGS unit, the poise , symbol P, is most widely used when reporting viscosity measurements.
It has dimensions (mass / (length × time)), and the corresponding SI unit is the pascal-second (Pa·s). Like other material properties (e.g. density, shear viscosity, and thermal conductivity) the value of volume viscosity is specific to each fluid and depends additionally on the fluid state, particularly its temperature and pressure.

One can convert efflux time to kinematic viscosity by using an equation for each cup specification number, where t is the efflux time and ν is the kinematic viscosity in centistokes. Zahn Cup #1: ν = 1.1( t − 29)
