Common conversions

Useful kinematic viscosity conversion factors

Conversion	Factor	Typical use
cSt to m2/s	m2/s = cSt x 1e-6	Fluid property data
cSt to mm2/s	mm2/s = cSt	Lubricants and oils
St to cSt	cSt = St x 100	CGS data cleanup
m2/s to cSt	cSt = m2/s x 1,000,000	Engineering reports
ft2/s to m2/s	m2/s = ft2/s x 0.09290304	Imperial to SI conversion
in2/s to m2/s	m2/s = in2/s x 0.00064516	Small-scale imperial data

How it works

Kinematic viscosity conversion method

1. Convert to base units

m2/s = input value x input unit factor

Every supported kinematic viscosity unit is stored as a factor relative to square meters per second.

2. Convert to target units

target value = base value / target unit factor

The selected result and table values are calculated from the same base value.

3. Check precision

rounding depends on scale

Very small and very large values use compact scientific notation to stay readable.

FAQ

Kinematic viscosity converter questions

How do you convert centistokes to m2/s?

Multiply centistokes by 1e-6 to convert cSt to m2/s.

Is 1 cSt equal to 1 mm2/s?

Yes. One centistoke is equal to one square millimeter per second.

What is kinematic viscosity?

Kinematic viscosity is dynamic viscosity divided by density, and describes momentum diffusion in a fluid.
