About these units

The centipoise (cP) is a specialist or regional unit of dynamic viscosity, equal to 0.001 pascal-seconds.

The poise (P) is a specialist or regional unit of dynamic viscosity, equal to 0.1 pascal-seconds.

Going the other way, 1 poise = 100 centipoise. Dynamic (absolute) viscosity describes a fluid's resistance to shear. Lubricant and polymer data sheets favour centipoise; SI uses the pascal-second.
