| Poise (P) | centiPoise (cP) | Reyn | Stoke (cm 2 /sec) | centiStoke | |
| Poise (P) | 1 | 100 | 1.45 10 -5 | 1 / SG | 100 / SG |
| centiPoise (cP) | 0.01 | 1 | 1.45 10 -7 | 0.01 / SG | 1 / SG |
| Reyn | 6.9 10 4 | 6.9 10 6 | 1 | 6.9 10 4 / SG | 6.9 10 6 / SG |
| Stoke (cm 2 /sec) | SG | 100 SG | 1.45 10 -5 SG | 1 | 100 |
| centiStoke | 0.01 SG | SG | 1.45 10 -7 SG | 0.01 | 1 |
SG = specific gravity of the oil
1 Stoke = 100 mm 2 /second
Example - Convert Viscosity in Stokes to centiStoke
Oil with kinematic viscosity 0.1 Stoke (10 mm 2 /s) equals to
0.1 Stoke (100 centiStoke/Stoke) = 10 centiStokes
