Exastokes

ESt

Definition

The exastokes is an extremely large unit of kinematic viscosity, representing 10^18 stokes. It is used for measuring the kinematic viscosity of extremely viscous materials such as certain polymers and geological materials.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the exa- prefix to the stokes, providing a scale for measuring extremely high kinematic viscosities that would be impractical to express in standard units.

Current Use

Used in specialized scientific and engineering applications where materials have extremely high kinematic viscosities, such as certain polymers, geological materials, and very thick fluids.

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.
