Centistokes to Poises Converter

How to Convert Centistokes to Poises

This conversion also depends on the density of the fluid. Assuming a density of 1 g/cm³ (like water), the conversion is as follows:

For more information about centistokes as a unit of measurement, visit our centistokes page.

Formula (for fluid with density of 1 g/cm³)

Poises = Centistokes ÷ 100

or

P = cSt ÷ 100

Step-by-step process

1. Take the measurement in centistokes
2. Divide that number by 100
3. The result is the equivalent viscosity in poises (for a fluid with a density of 1 g/cm³).

Examples

• 100 cSt = 100 ÷ 100 = 1 P
• 500 cSt = 500 ÷ 100 = 5 P
• 1000 cSt = 1000 ÷ 100 = 10 P
