Millistokes
One millistokes is equal to one ten-millionth of a square meter per second (1e-7 square meters per second).
History: Millistokes follows decimal scaling of the stokes.
Current use: Used for low-viscosity fluids and conversion-table compatibility.
Also written as mSt.
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.
