Viscosity Unit Converter
Convert between kinematic and dynamic viscosity units. Enter density for dynamic↔kinematic conversion.

Viscosity Conversion
Kinematic ν (cSt) × density ρ (g/cm³) = Dynamic μ (cP)
SUS ≈ 4.632 × cSt (for ν > 50 cSt)
Kinematic ν = μ/ρ. Dynamic (μ) includes density effect. Kinematic in cSt, dynamic in cP.
To convert between kinematic (cSt) and dynamic (cP): cP = cSt × density(g/cm³).
Saybolt Universal Seconds — time for 60 mL to flow through a calibrated orifice. Older unit still used in US.
ISO Viscosity Grade = midpoint kinematic viscosity at 40°C in cSt. VG32 = 32 cSt at 40°C.
Viscosity decreases with temperature. Use the Walther equation or viscosity-temperature charts.
Professional instruments for industrial applications.
Nikolai Shelkovenko
Nikolai Shelkovenko is a vibration analysis engineer and the founder and CEO of Vibromera. For more than 15 years he has balanced rotating equipment in the field rather than on a test bench: mulchers, industrial fans, crushers, centrifuges, shafts and spindles. That work is what the Balanset instruments grew out of — they were designed as a tool a specialist can carry to the machine and use alone, on site, not as laboratory equipment. Vibromera was founded in 2017 and has been based in Porto, Portugal, since 2023. Development, assembly and support of the Balanset line all happen here. The flagship instrument is the Balanset-1A, a portable analyser for single- and two-plane balancing and for vibration diagnostics. Nikolai is personally involved in customer support, in working through difficult balancing cases and in the development of the software. He works with customers worldwide, in any language.
