square centimeter per second to square meter per second
Convert square centimeter per second (cm²/s) to square meter per second (m²/s). Use an editable kinematic viscosity converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 cm²/s = 0.0001 m²/s
Conversion formula
One square centimeter per second equals 0.0001 square meter per second. Multiply your value in square centimeter per second by this factor to get square meter per second. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 square centimeter per second:5 × 0.0001 = 0.0005 m²/s

About these measurements
Kinematic viscosity is dynamic viscosity divided by density.
The base reference used here is the square meter per second. One square centimeter per second is 0.0001 base units; one square meter per second is 1 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert cm²/s to m²/s?
Multiply the quantity in cm²/s by 0.0001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the square meter per second to square centimeter per second converter.
