How do you convert from pascal seconds to centistokes for viscosity?

Answer 1

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).

Answer 2

Centipoise divided by specific gravity is equal to centistokes. Centipoise divided by specific gravity is equal to centistokes. Centipoise divided by specific gravity is equal to centistokes. Centipoise divided by specific gravity is equal to centistokes.

Answer 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.

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

divide centipoise by the specific gravity
