Symbol St. A c.g.s. unit of kinematic viscosity equal to the ratio of the viscosity of a fluid in poises to its density in grams per cubic centimetre. 1 stokes=10⁻⁴ m² s⁻¹. It is named after the British mathematician and physicist Sir George Gabriel Stokes (1819–1903).

[Etymology: G. G. Stokes; UK 1819-1903] kinematic viscosity. Symbols St, also lentor. Metric-c.g.s. Identically poise per gram per cubic centimetre = 10^-4 m²·s^-1. The kinematic viscosity of water is regarded as 1.003 8 cSt for calibrations.

symbol: St; the cgs unit of kinematic viscosity; its use is now discouraged. In SI units, kinematic viscosity is measured in square metres per second; 1 St = 10⁻⁴ m² s⁻¹. [After (Sir) George Gabriel Stokes (1819 — 1903), British mathematician.]
