Hectostokes

hSt

Definition

The hectostokes is a unit of kinematic viscosity, representing 10^2 stokes. It is used for measuring the kinematic viscosity of moderately viscous materials in various applications.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the hecto- prefix to the stokes, providing a scale for measuring moderately high kinematic viscosities in scientific and engineering contexts.

Current Use

Used in various applications where materials have moderately high kinematic viscosities, such as certain oils, polymers, and 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.
