Kinematic Viscosity Converter FAQ

What is kinematic viscosity? ▾

Kinematic viscosity is dynamic viscosity divided by density, in m²/s. It is widely quoted in centistokes (cSt) — motor oils such as SAE 30 are around 100 cSt at 40 °C.

Is centistokes the same as centipoise? ▾

No. Centipoise (cP) is dynamic viscosity; centistokes (cSt) is kinematic. cSt = cP ÷ density (g/cm³). For water they are both ≈1 because water's density is ≈1.
