What is a centistoke?

A centistoke (cSt) measures kinematic viscosity and equals 0.01 stokes or 1 × 10⁻⁶ m²/s. It represents how fluid resists flow under gravity.

When is exastoke used?

Exastoke (ESt) is an extremely large unit mainly used in theoretical, pedagogical, or astrophysical contexts to illustrate very large viscosity scales.

How do I convert centistokes to exastokes?

Multiply the centistokes value by 1e-20 to get the equivalent amount in exastokes.

Common Use Cases

Specifying lubricants and motor oils in centistokes at standard temperatures
Performing theoretical or educational unit conversions involving very large viscosity scales
Analyzing fluid flow in astrophysical or planetary science models using exastokes
Calculating flow regimes and Reynolds numbers in engineering applications

Tips & Best Practices

Use the conversion primarily for theoretical or pedagogical purposes rather than practical engineering
Verify unit selection before converting to avoid confusion due to vastly different scales
Apply results carefully when modeling extreme-scale viscosities in astrophysics or geophysics
Understand that centistokes is suited for common fluid viscosities while exastokes represent very large values

Limitations

Exastokes is an exceptionally large unit rarely suitable for typical engineering or laboratory measurements
Conversions to exastokes are mainly conceptual and not used for real sample viscosities
The vast scale difference means such conversions do not represent practical fluid behavior
Users should not rely on this conversion for everyday viscosity analysis
