What does centistokes measure?

Centistokes measure kinematic viscosity, describing a fluid's resistance to flow under gravity as the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density.

Why convert centistokes to megastokes?

Converting centistokes to megastokes is useful to express very large viscosity values in theoretical, astrophysical, or legacy literature contexts.

Is this conversion practical for everyday engineering?

Due to the extremely large scale of megastokes, resulting values from typical centistokes measurements are very small and may not be practical for everyday engineering.
