Convert Pascal Second to Stokes
Type the number of pascal seconds that you wish to convert to stokes.
How to Convert Pascal Seconds to Stokes
The pascal second and stokes are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 pascal second equals exactly 10000 stokes. This means to convert pascal seconds to stokes, you multiply by 10000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 Pa·s to stokes:
We need to convert pascal seconds to stokes
Since 1 Pa·s = 10000 St, multiply by 10000
5 × 10000 = 50000
5 Pa·s = 50000 St

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.
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.
