Measuring Viscosity

Q: How can we convert viscosity in poise or Pa*s to viscosity in seconds. Is it a direct method or some emperical formula or there is no specific rule available to govern this conversion?

Are there any possibilities here?

A: You can find conversion tables online, and if you write to Paul Gardner at www.gardco.com he should be able to send you a conversion chart together with an empirical formula. I have not used the formula, but you can evaluate it yourself.
