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.
