What Is This Tool?

This unit converter allows you to transform kinematic viscosity measurements from stokes (St), a CGS unit, to the SI unit square meter per second (m²/s). It supports scientific and engineering needs in fields like fluid mechanics and aerodynamics.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the viscosity value in stokes (St) you wish to convert
  • Select the target unit as square meter per second (m²/s)
  • Initiate the conversion to get the equivalent value in SI units
  • Use the resulting value for further fluid dynamics or engineering calculations

Key Features

  • Converts kinematic viscosity values from stokes (St) to square meter/second (m²/s)
  • Provides SI unit representation for standardized fluid flow analysis
  • Simple, browser-based interface for quick conversions
  • Includes examples to guide conversion understanding
  • Supports applications in hydraulics, aerodynamics, and engineering

Examples

  • 5 St = 5 × 0.0001 = 0.0005 m²/s
