centistoke (centésima de stoke) Explanation: Hola Elena, I guess you mean "centistokes", no "centistRokes". If that is so, then the translation is "centistoke", "centésima de stoke". <<Centistoke [MEC FL] Unidad cgs de viscosidad cinemática de uso corriente, igual a la viscosidad cinemática de un fluido que tenga una viscosidad dinámica de 1 centipoise y una densidad de 1 gramo por centímetro cúbico. Abreviadamente cs.>> Diccionario de términos científicos y técnicos. Editorial Planeta Agostini. Diccionario de t�rminos cient�ficos y t�cnicos. Editorial Planeta Agostini. |

See below Explanation: I agree with the colleague, must be 'centistoke', 1/100th of a 'stoke', a viscosity unit for liquids, it's the resistance of the liquids to flow, water is 1, a higher number means a thicker liquid. It translates the same: 'centistoke'. Luck! |

centistokes Explanation: Concuerdo con las dos respuestas anteriores en todo menos en un pequeño punto: la S final de centistokes no es por el plural sino por el origen de la unidad, que debe su nombre a una persona: George Gabriel Stokes (1819-1903) así que no se puede eliminar dicha S por poner el nombre de la unidad en singular.
