Centipoise to Centistokes Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Centistokes:

$CS = \frac{CP}{SG}$

Where:

$CS$ is the Centistokes (cSt)
$CP$ is the Centipoise (cP)
$SG$ is the specific gravity (dimensionless)

Centipoise to Centistokes Definition

Centipoise and Centistokes are units of measurement for viscosity, which is the measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. The conversion from Centipoise to Centistokes involves the fluid’s specific gravity.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Centipoise ( $CP$ ) = 10 cP
Specific Gravity ( $SG$ ) = 1.2

Using the formula:

$CS = \frac{10}{1.2} = 8.33 \text{ cSt}$

The Centistokes is 8.33 cSt.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Centipoise ( $CP$ ) = 15 cP
Specific Gravity ( $SG$ ) = 1.5

Using the formula:

$CS = \frac{15}{1.5} = 10 \text{ cSt}$

The Centistokes is 10 cSt.
