Stokes
St
Definition
The stokes is a unit of kinematic viscosity in the CGS system, named after George Gabriel Stokes. It represents the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density and is widely used in scientific and engineering applications for measuring fluid flow characteristics.
History/Origin
Named after George Gabriel Stokes, a British mathematician and physicist who made significant contributions to fluid dynamics. The stokes was the standard unit of kinematic viscosity in the CGS system and is still widely used in many industries.
Current Use
Extensively used in the petroleum industry, chemical engineering, and fluid mechanics for measuring the kinematic viscosity of oils, polymers, and other fluids. It is often more convenient than the square meter per second for practical applications.

Centistokes
cSt
Definition
The centistokes is a commonly used unit of kinematic viscosity, representing 10^-2 stokes. It is widely used in industry for measuring the kinematic viscosity of various fluids.
History/Origin
This unit was created by applying the centi- prefix to the stokes, providing a convenient scale for measuring low to moderate kinematic viscosities in industrial applications.
Current Use
Extensively used in the petroleum industry, chemical engineering, and fluid mechanics for measuring the kinematic viscosity of oils, polymers, and other fluids. It is often more convenient than the square meter per second for practical applications.
