Convert Stokes to Millipascal Second
Type the number of stokes that you wish to convert to millipascal seconds.
How to Convert Stokes to Millipascal Seconds
The stokes and millipascal second are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 millipascal second equals exactly 10 stokes. This means to convert stokes to millipascal seconds, you divide by 10.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 St to millipascal seconds:
We need to convert stokes to millipascal seconds
Since 1 mPa·s = 10 St, divide by 10
5 ÷ 10 = 0.5
5 St = 0.5 mPa·s

About These Units
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.
Millipascal Second (mPa·s)
A millipascal second (mPa·s) equals 0.001 Pa·s and is exactly equal to one centipoise (cP). The most practical viscosity unit: water 1 mPa·s, milk 2-3 mPa·s, blood 3-4 mPa·s, olive oil 80 mPa·s, maple syrup 150-200 mPa·s. Standard for comparing common liquids.
