Kinematic viscosity converter

Convert m²/s, mm²/s, stokes and centistokes.

Conversion

This tool lets you convert kinematic viscosity between square meters per second, stokes and centistokes.

Result

Approximation

Enter a kinematic viscosity value to convert.

Quick explanation

Enter a positive or zero kinematic viscosity, then select two different units.

The calculation is instant and the precise value can be copied.

Additional information

What is kinematic viscosity?

Kinematic viscosity describes fluid flow while taking dynamic viscosity and density into account. The SI unit is square meter per second.

Stokes and centistokes

Stokes and centistokes are often used for oils and technical fluids. 1 cSt equals 1 mm²/s.

Difference from dynamic viscosity

Kinematic viscosity cannot be converted directly to dynamic viscosity without knowing the fluid density.
