Convert Stokes to Pascal Second
Type the number of stokes that you wish to convert to pascal seconds.
How to Convert Stokes to Pascal Seconds
The stokes and pascal second are both units of viscosity. By definition, 1 pascal second equals exactly 10000 stokes. This means to convert stokes to pascal seconds, you divide by 10000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 St to pascal seconds:
We need to convert stokes to pascal seconds
Since 1 Pa·s = 10000 St, divide by 10000
5 ÷ 10000 = 0.0005
5 St = 0.0005 Pa·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.
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.
