Units and assumptions

Uses square metres per second. One centistokes is 1 mm²/s, and one stokes is 1 cm²/s. Dynamic viscosity is a different quantity and needs density to convert between the two. Values are rounded to 12 significant figures for display.

Calculator results use floating-point arithmetic and are rounded for display. The reference table below uses up to 12 significant digits.
