Are Centistokes and Centipoise the Same?

Centipoise = centistokes x specific gravity where specific gravity is assumed to be 0.8 (except for water). To find the exact cp of your fluid: cp = cSt x (weight per gallon x 0.120).
What is a centistoke equal to?
A centistokes (cSt) is a decimal fraction of the CGS unit of kinematic viscosity stokes, which is equal to centimeter per second (cm²/s). 1 stokes is a kinematic viscosity of a fluid with a density of 1 g/cm³ and a dynamic viscosity of 1 poise.
How do you calculate centistokes?
1 centistokes = 1 mm2•s-1 = 10-6m2•s-1. The kinematic viscosity can also be called diffusivity of momentum since it has the same dimensions as the diffusivity of heat and diffusivity of mass concentration.
