- close to the kinematic viscosity of water near room temperature
Unit Story
Centistokes
Centistokes are widely used for lubricants, fuels, hydraulic fluids, and petroleum products. The stated test temperature is essential when comparing values.
Stokes
The stokes is the CGS kinematic-viscosity unit. One stokes equals 100 centistokes or one square centimeter per second.
How This Conversion Works
Centistokes and stokes are both used for kinematic viscosity conversions. This page converts 1 centistokes into 0.01 stokes using the formula shown below.
Use this result for quick checks, comparisons, and everyday reference. For work that depends on exact precision, review the rounding setting and the assumption note before using the number.
The precision controls let you switch between a shorter result, the standard readable result, and scientific notation when the value is very large or very small.
Unit Notes
- 1 centistokes (cSt) equals 0.000001 square meter per second.
- 1 stokes (St) equals 0.0001 square meter per second.

- Assumption
- Kinematic viscosity measures momentum diffusion and equals dynamic viscosity divided by density. Values depend strongly on temperature. Saybolt seconds are excluded because they are instrument readings that require empirical formulas rather than a single linear conversion factor.
