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

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.
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.
