Centistokes to square meters per second
Type a value in cSt to get it in m²/s instantly.
1×10⁻⁴m²/s
That's about the same as SAE 30 oil. That is about 100× as thick as water.
Convert the other way: m²/s to cSt
What it means
How thick is that?
Oil grades such as ISO VG 46 are the kinematic viscosity in cSt at 40 °C. Viscosity falls sharply as oil warms.
The math
How to convert cSt to m²/s
To convert centistokes to square meters per second, multiply by 1×10⁻⁶.
Example: 100 cSt × 1×10⁻⁶ = 1×10⁻⁴ m²/s.
In the other direction, 1 m²/s = 1,000,000 cSt.

The units
About these units
Centistokes (cSt)
The practical unit: water is 1 cSt, and every oil grade is quoted in it.
Square meters per second (m²/s)
The SI unit. Water is 10⁻⁶ m²/s, which is why centistokes are preferred.
