Centistokes

One centistokes is equal to one millionth of a square meter per second (1e-6 square meters per second).

History: Centistokes became widely used because many lubricant and fuel viscosities fit readable cSt values.

Current use: Used for oils, fuels, hydraulic fluids, lubricants, and viscosity specifications.

Also written as cSt.

Stokes

One stokes is equal to 0.0001 square meters per second.

History: The stokes is named after George Gabriel Stokes and is the CGS unit of kinematic viscosity.

Current use: Used in older fluid-property references and as the parent unit of centistokes.

Also written as St.
