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

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

1 St = 100 cSt

1 cSt = 0.01 St

To convert stokes to centistokes, multiply by 100.

To convert centistokes to stokes, multiply by 0.01.

Example: convert 10 St to cSt

10 × 100 = 1000 cSt

Short background on the units used in this conversion.

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.

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.

How many centistokes are in one stokes?

One stokes equals 100 centistokes. Multiply your stokes value by 100 to convert to centistokes.

What is the conversion formula?

cSt = St × 100

The reverse is St = cSt × 0.01, using the same exact factors as this converter.
