The centistoke (cSt) is the most dem commonly use 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, dem name am 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).
