Method and calculation
Convert kinematic viscosity through the square metre per second: value × source factor / target factor. Factors relative to square metre per second: m²/s = 1; mm²/s = 0.000001; St = 0.0001; cSt = 0.000001; ft²/s = 0.09290304.
Inputs and settings
Kinematic Viscosity Converter accepts Value (minimum 0); From unit (m²/s, mm²/s, St, cSt, ft²/s); To unit (m²/s, mm²/s, St, cSt, ft²/s).
Worked example
Kinematic Viscosity Converter example — Value: 1; From unit: "m²/s"; To unit: "mm²/s". Computed output: { "value": 1000000, "unit": "mm²/s", "baseValue": 1, "baseUnit": "square metre per second" }
Output and limitations
Kinematic viscosity divides dynamic viscosity by density. Centistokes and square millimetres per second are numerically identical. A centipoise value cannot be entered as centistokes without a density calculation, even when the two happen to be similar for water.
