Kinematic viscosity
Centistokes to stokes
cSt → St
100 cSt = 1 St
Stokes to centistokes
St → cSt
1 St = 100 cSt
Centistokes to square feet per second
cSt → ft²/s
1,000 cSt = 0.01 ft²/s
Square feet per second to centistokes
ft²/s → cSt
0.001 ft²/s = 92.9 cSt
Square meters per second to centistokes
m²/s → cSt
0.0001 m²/s = 100 cSt
Centistokes to square meters per second
cSt → m²/s
46 cSt = 0.000046 m²/s
Kinematic viscosity units at a glance
| Unit | Symbol | In square meters per second | Defined as |
|---|---|---|---|
| Square meter per second | m²/s | 1 | SI |
| Square millimeter per second | mm²/s | 0.000001 | 1 cSt |
| Centistokes | cSt | 0.000001 | 1 mm²/s |
| Stokes | St | 0.0001 | 1 cm²/s |
| Square foot per second | ft²/s | 0.092903 | 92,903 cSt |

Kinematic viscosity = dynamic viscosity ÷ density: cSt = cP ÷ (g/cm³). Water at 20 °C is about 1 cSt.
