Convert Millipoise to Stokes
Input the number of millipoise you want to convert to stokes.
How to Convert Millipoise to Stokes
The millipoise and stokes are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 millipoise equals exactly 1 stokes. This means to convert millipoise to stokes, you multiply by 1.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 mP to stokes:
We need to convert millipoise to stokes
Since 1 mP = 1 St, multiply by 1
5 × 1 = 5
5 mP = 5 St

About These Units
Millipoise (mP)
A millipoise (mP) equals 0.001 poise or 0.1 cP. Used for low-viscosity fluids and gases. Air at 20°C: 0.18 mP, water at 100°C: 2.8 mP, acetone: 3.1 mP. Provides finer resolution than centipoise for thin fluids and gases.
Stokes (St)
The stokes (St) is the CGS unit of kinematic viscosity equal to 1 cm²/s or 100 centistokes. Named after physicist George Stokes. Water at 20°C: 0.01 St, light motor oil: 0.3-1 St at 40°C. One stokes = 10⁻⁴ m²/s. Common in technical literature.
