Centistokes

cSt

Definition

The centistokes is a commonly used unit of kinematic viscosity, representing 10^-2 stokes. It is widely used in industry for measuring the kinematic viscosity of various fluids.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the centi- prefix to the stokes, providing a convenient scale for measuring low to moderate kinematic viscosities in industrial applications.

Current Use

Extensively used in the petroleum industry, chemical engineering, and fluid mechanics for measuring the kinematic viscosity of oils, polymers, and other fluids. It is often more convenient than the square meter per second for practical applications.

Picostokes

pSt

Definition

The picostokes is a unit of kinematic viscosity, representing 10^-12 stokes. It is used for measuring the kinematic viscosity of extremely low-viscosity fluids in specialized applications.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the pico- prefix to the stokes, providing a scale for measuring extremely low kinematic viscosities in specialized scientific and engineering contexts.

Current Use

Used in specialized scientific and engineering applications where materials have extremely low kinematic viscosities, such as gases and very thin liquids.
