Stokes to Centipoises Converter

How to Convert Stokes to Centipoises

This conversion 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 stokes as a unit of measurement, visit our stokes page.

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

Centipoises = Stokes × 100

or

cP = St × 100

Step-by-step process

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

Examples

• 1 St = 1 × 100 = 100 cP
• 5 St = 5 × 100 = 500 cP
• 10 St = 10 × 100 = 1,000 cP
