Convert centistokes to stokes

Centistokes

The centistoke (cSt) is the most commonly used unit of kinematic viscosity in industry, equal to 10⁻² St or 10⁻⁶ m²/s. Water at 20°C has a kinematic viscosity of approximately 1 cSt. Motor oil grades (e.g., SAE 10W-30) are defined by their viscosity in centistokes.

Stokes

The stokes (St) is the CGS unit of kinematic viscosity, named after Sir George Gabriel Stokes. One stokes equals one square centimetre per second (1 cm²/s = 10⁻⁴ m²/s). Water at 20°C has a kinematic viscosity of about 0.01 St (1 centistoke).

How to convert Centistokes to Stokes

1 cSt = 0.01 St. To convert any value, multiply it by 0.01. For example, 25 cSt = 0.25 St.
