How to Convert Centipoise to Stokes
To convert centipoise to stokes, divide the value by 1000.
The Formula
Stokes = Centipoise ÷ 1000
Key Fact
1 stokes = 1000 centipoise
Tip: To convert stokes back to centipoise, multiply by 1000.
Centipoise to Stokes
Convert centipoise (cP) to stokes (St) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.
cP
St
1 cP = 0.001 St
Full precision:0.001 St
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 centipoise to stokes, we divide by 1000 because one stokes equals exactly 1000 centipoise.
1 stokes = 1000 centipoise
Since there are 1000 centipoise in every stokes, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001 stokes
So 1 centipoise = 0.001 stokes.
Quick check: 0.001 × 1000 = 1 centipoise
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 cP = 0.001 St
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001
Example 2: 5 cP = 0.005 St
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
Example 3: 10 cP = 0.01 St
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
