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.

Square Meter per Hour

m²/h

Definition

The square meter per hour is a unit of kinematic viscosity, representing the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density over a time period of one hour. It is used for measuring very low kinematic viscosities or for applications where hourly rates are more convenient.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the hour time unit to the square meter per second, providing a more convenient scale for measuring very low kinematic viscosities in certain industrial and scientific applications.

Current Use

Used in specialized applications where very low kinematic viscosities need to be expressed in hourly terms, particularly in certain industrial processes and scientific measurements where the standard second-based unit would be too small.
