Stokes to centistokes

Type a value in St to get it in cSt instantly.

10,000cSt

That's 1.43× as thick as honey — nothing on our list beats it. That is about 10,000× as thick as water.

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 St to cSt

To convert stokes to centistokes, multiply by 100.

Example: 100 St × 100 = 10,000 cSt.

In the other direction, 1 cSt = 0.01 St.
