Conversion Formula
kSt = m²/s × 10
About Square metres per second
The square metre per second (m²/s) is the SI coherent unit of kinematic viscosity (ν = μ/ρ). Air at 20 °C ≈ 1.516 × 10⁻⁵ m²/s; water at 20 °C ≈ 1.004 × 10⁻⁶ m²/s; glycerol ≈ 1.19 × 10⁻³ m²/s. It is the standard in CFD codes and SI research literature. 1 m²/s = 10⁴ St = 10⁶ cSt.
About Kilostokes
The kilostoke (kSt) equals 1000 St = 0.1 m²/s. It is used for extremely viscous materials such as heavy polymer melts and bitumen at low temperatures, where centistoke values would reach into the hundreds of thousands. 1 kSt = 10³ St = 10⁵ cSt = 0.1 m²/s.
