Centipoise To Centistokes Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the conversion from Centipoise to Centistokes.
CS = CP / SG
Variables:
- CS is the Centistokes (cSt)
- CP is the Centipoise (cP)
- SG is the specific gravity (dimensionless)
To calculate the Centistokes, divide the Centipoise by the specific gravity.
What is a Centipoise To Centistokes?
Centipoise and Centistokes are units of measurement for viscosity, which is the measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. The conversion from Centipoise to Centistokes involves the fluid’s specific gravity. Specifically, Centistokes equals Centipoise divided by the specific gravity of the fluid at a certain temperature. This conversion is important in various industries such as engineering and chemistry where understanding the flow characteristics of a fluid is crucial.
How to Calculate Centipoise To Centistokes?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Centistokes (cSt) from Centipoise (cP) using the formula CS = CP / SG.
- First, determine the Centipoise value (CP).
- Next, determine the Specific gravity value (SG).
- Next, use the formula CS = CP / SG to calculate the Centistokes value (cSt).
- Finally, calculate the Centistokes (cSt).
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
