Kinematic Viscosity Converter
Kinematic viscosity: stokes, centistokes, mm²/s and imperial units. Converting to centipoise also needs the fluid’s density.
That is below absolute zero (−273.15 °C), which isn’t physically possible.
1 Centistokes = 0.000001 Square meters per second
Formula: divide the kinematic viscosity value by 1,000,000

How to convert kinematic viscosity units
Kinematic viscosity: stokes, centistokes, mm²/s and imperial units. Converting to centipoise also needs the fluid’s density. Every conversion goes through one base unit, the square meter per second, using exact factors, so results don’t drift.
Centistokes to square millimeters per second (cSt to mm²/s)
To convert centistokes to square millimeters per second, multiply by 1. 1 centistokes = 1 square millimeter per second.
| cSt | mm²/s |
|---|---|
| 1 cSt | 1 mm²/s |
| 2 cSt | 2 mm²/s |
| 5 cSt | 5 mm²/s |
| 10 cSt | 10 mm²/s |
| 20 cSt | 20 mm²/s |
| 50 cSt | 50 mm²/s |
| 100 cSt | 100 mm²/s |
Centistokes to square meters per second (cSt to m²/s)
To convert centistokes to square meters per second, divide by 1,000,000. 1 centistokes = 0.000001 square meters per second.
| cSt | m²/s |
|---|---|
| 1 cSt | 0.000001 m²/s |
| 2 cSt | 0.000002 m²/s |
| 5 cSt | 0.000005 m²/s |
| 10 cSt | 0.00001 m²/s |
| 20 cSt | 0.00002 m²/s |
| 50 cSt | 0.00005 m²/s |
| 100 cSt | 0.0001 m²/s |
Square meters per second to centistokes (m²/s to cSt)
To convert square meters per second to centistokes, multiply by 1,000,000. 1 square meter per second = 1,000,000 centistokes.
Stokes to centistokes (St to cSt)
To convert stokes to centistokes, multiply by 100. 1 stokes = 100 centistokes.
