Viscosity cst unit

Concept

Centistokes (cst) is the smallest unit of kinematic viscosis. cSt is the abbreviation of Centistokes, which means centistokes, which is one hundredth of 1 stox. 

The unit of kinematic viscosity is Stokes, that is, Stokes, referred to as S. When the dynamic viscosity of the fluid is 1 poise and the density is 1 g/cm3, the kinematic viscosity is 1 Stokes.

Common viscosity unit conversion:

1 centipoise (1cP) = 1 mPascal. Second (1mPa.s)

100 centipoise (100cP) = 1 poise (1P)

1000 mPascal. Second (1000mPa.s) = 1 Pascal. Second (1Pa.s)

Conversion of dynamic viscosity and kinematic viscosity:

η = ρ.ρ.

Where η --- Specimen dynamic viscosity (mPa.s)

Viscosity of specimen (mm2/s)

Rp --- the density of the sample at the same temperature as the measured kinematic viscosity (g/cm3)

For liquids, the greater the pressure, the lower the temperature, and the greater the viscosity; the smaller the pressure, the higher the temperature, and the smaller the viscosity.

For gases, pressure has little effect; the higher the temperature, the greater the viscosity, and the lower the temperature, the smaller the viscosity.
