Centistokes to Stokes Converter cSt → St
1 centistokes (cSt) = 0.01 stokes (St). Type a value below — the conversion happens instantly, entirely on your device.
1 cSt = 0.01 St
1 centistokes = 0.01 stokes
1 × 0.01 = 0.01
1 cSt equals 0.01 St, so multiplying by 0.01 converts the value. The result describes the exact same quantity — only the measuring stick changes.
How to convert centistokes to stokes
stokes = centistokes × 0.01 — multiply the centistokes value by 0.01.
Example: 10 cSt = 0.1 St.
To convert the other way: centistokes = stokes ÷ 0.01 — or use the dedicated St to cSt converter .

About the units
What is a centistokes?
One-hundredth of a stokes, equal to 1 mm²/s. The standard unit for lubricants — engine oils are typically rated by their centistokes at 40 °C and 100 °C.
What is a stokes?
The CGS unit of kinematic viscosity — one square centimetre per second, exactly 10⁻⁴ m²/s. Named after George Stokes.
