Convert Centistokes to Millistokes
Convert Centistokes (cSt) to Millistokes (mSt) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
mSt = cSt × 10
About Centistokes
The centistoke (cSt) equals 10⁻⁶ m²/s = 1 mm²/s. It is the dominant unit for kinematic viscosity in industry worldwide. ASTM D445, ISO 3104, and ACEA lubricant specifications all use cSt. Water at 20 °C ≈ 1.004 cSt; diesel at 40 °C: 2.0-4.5 cSt; SAE 40 oil at 100 °C: 12.5-16.3 cSt. 1 cSt = 10⁻² St.
About Millistokes
The millistoke (mSt) equals 10⁻⁷ m²/s. It appears in research on low-viscosity solvents, dilute polymer solutions, and light gases whose kinematic viscosity is in the sub-centistoke range. 1 mSt = 10⁻³ St = 0.1 cSt = 10⁻⁷ m²/s.
