Convert Pascal Second to Centistokes
Enter the number of pascal seconds that you want to convert to centistokes.
How to Convert Pascal Seconds to Centistokes
The pascal second and centistokes are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 pascal second equals exactly 1000000 centistokes. This means to convert pascal seconds to centistokes, you multiply by 1000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 Pa·s to centistokes:
We need to convert pascal seconds to centistokes
Since 1 Pa·s = 1000000 cSt, multiply by 1000000
5 × 1000000 = 5000000
5 Pa·s = 5000000 cSt

About These Units
Pascal Second (Pa·s)
The Pascal second (Pa·s) is the SI unit of dynamic (absolute) viscosity—a fluid's resistance to shear flow. Water at 20°C: 0.001 Pa·s, motor oil: 0.1-0.3 Pa·s, honey: 2-10 Pa·s, molten glass: 10-1000 Pa·s. Formula: τ = η × (dv/dy). One Pa·s = 10 poise = 1000 centipoise.
Centistokes (cSt)
The centistoke (cSt) is the most widely used kinematic viscosity unit, equal to 1 mm²/s. Water at 20°C: 1 cSt (reference). Motor oil grades: SAE 30 is 100 cSt at 40°C. ISO viscosity grades (VG 32, VG 46, etc.) specify cSt at 40°C. Standard for lubricant specifications worldwide.
