Microstokes
µSt
Definition
The microstokes is a unit of kinematic viscosity, representing 10^-6 stokes. It is used for measuring the kinematic viscosity of very low-viscosity fluids such as gases and extremely thin liquids.
History/Origin
This unit was created by applying the micro- prefix to the stokes, providing a scale for measuring very low kinematic viscosities in scientific and engineering contexts.
Current Use
Used in fluid mechanics and engineering for measuring the kinematic viscosity of gases, very thin liquids, and extremely low-viscosity fluids where the millistokes would be too large a unit.

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.
