About the units
Stokes (St)
1 cm²/s. One stokes equals 0.0001 square meters per second (m²/s).
Centistokes (cSt)
Equal to 1 mm²/s; the usual unit for oil viscosity grades. Water at 20 °C is about 1.0 cSt. One centistokes equals 0.000001 square meters per second (m²/s).
Frequently asked questions
How many centistokes are in one stokes?
There are 100 centistokes in one stokes, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert stokes to centistokes?
Multiply the number of stokes by 100. For example, 10 St × 100 = 1,000 cSt.
How many stokes are in one centistokes?
One centistokes equals 0.01 stokes. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 100.
What is 10 stokes in centistokes?
10 St = 1,000 cSt.
Is this St to cSt converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
