1 St = 100 cStone stokes in centistokes
1 cSt = 0.01 Stone centistokes in stokes
Stokes (St): CGS unit of kinematic viscosity: one square centimeter per second, exactly 10⁻⁴ m²/s.
Centistokes (cSt): One hundredth of a stokes: exactly 1 mm²/s. Oil viscosity grades are defined in cSt.

How to convert stokes to centistokes
To convert stokes to centistokes, multiply the number of stokes by 100.
Formula
cSt = St × 100
Examples
- 5 St = 5 × 100 = 500 cSt
- 25 St = 25 × 100 = 2500 cSt
- 100 St = 100 × 100 = 10000 cSt
