Viscosity-Kinematic Centistokes Stokes

1 centistokes = 0.01 stokes

From

Format

Selected cSt values converted to St using the exact factor from this tool.

Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.

1 cSt = 0.01 St

1 St = 100 cSt

To convert centistokes to stokes, multiply by 0.01.

To convert stokes to centistokes, multiply by 100.

Example: convert 10 cSt to St

10 × 0.01 = 0.1 St

Short background on the units used in this conversion.

Centistokes (cSt) equals 10⁻⁶ m²/s. Water at 20°C has a kinematic viscosity of approximately 1 centistoke.

Centistokes is the standard industry unit for lubricants, fuels, and process fluids — from water (~1 cSt) to heavy oils.

Stokes (St) equals 10⁻⁴ m²/s — the CGS unit of kinematic viscosity. One stokes equals 100 centistokes.

Stokes appears in rheology literature and older engineering references alongside the centistokes subunit.

How many stokes are in one centistokes?

One centistokes equals 0.01 stokes. Multiply your centistokes value by 0.01 to convert to stokes.

What is the conversion formula?

St = cSt × 0.01

The reverse is cSt = St × 100, using the same exact factors as this converter.
