Somebody could say me the different between the cP (Centipoise) and cSt (Centistokes)? , is something about the cinematic and dynamic viscosity?
Thanks so much for help to beginner analyzer |

Centipoise (cp) is a unit of absolute viscosity.
100 Centipoise = 1 Poise 1 Centipoise = 1 mPa s (Millipascal Second) 1 Poise = 0.1 Pa s (Pascal Second) Centipoise = Centistoke x Density |

Another way of expressing the Centistoke is absolute viscosity divided by the density of the fluid (mm^2/sec, kinematic viscosity).

In condition monitoring the viscosity of oil is measured in cSt at either 40C (ISO Vg grade) for industrial applications and 100C for engine and transmission oils.cP is seldom/never measured on used oils.
ISO VG 5 is very thin and ISO VG 1000 is very thick (viscous).Centistokes cSt is a simple measurment of a fixed volume flow through an orifice timed at a fixed temperature and converted to centistokes. |
