Convert Centistokes to Square centimetres per second
Convert Centistokes (cSt) to Square centimetres per second (cm²/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
cm²/s = cSt × 0.01
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 Square centimetres per second
The square centimetre per second (cm²/s) equals 10⁻⁴ m²/s, numerically identical to 1 stoke (St). It is the explicit CGS dimensional form, preferred in dimensional analysis or when avoiding named units. 1 cm²/s = 1 St = 100 cSt.
