Centipoise is a unit of dynamic viscosity, whereas centistoke is a unit of kinematic viscosity. Kinematic viscosity is the dynamic viscosity divided by density.

So, to convert centipoise to centistokes, you simply divide the value in centipoise by the density (in g/cm^3, to make conversions less messy). Likewise, to convert centistokes into centipoise, you simply multiply the value in centistokes by the density (in g/cm^3).

To convert from pascal seconds (Pa·s) to centistokes (cSt) for viscosity, you can use the following formula: 1 Pa·s = 10 cSt. Simply multiply the value in pascal seconds by 10 to get the equivalent in centistokes.

The units for Pa*s are
1 Pa*s = 1 [N*m-2]*s = 1 [kg*m*s-2]*m-2*s = 1 kg*m-1*s-1


A centistoke is a unit that describes kinematic viscosity and is given by the equation

v=u/p

where v is the Greek nu, u is the Greek mu, and p is the Greek rho. u is dynamic viscosity and p is density. u is in units of centipoise (cP) and p is in units of g*cm-3.

1 cP = 1 mPa*s or 1 cP = 0.001 Pa*s.

You cannot directly get from Pa*s to cSt. You must divide the dynamic viscosity by the density to get kinematic viscosity. Then, the units work out to

1 cSt = [1 cP] / [g*cm-3] = 10-6 * m2*s-1
