Millistokes

mSt

Definition

The millistokes is a unit of kinematic viscosity, representing 10^-3 stokes. It is used for measuring the kinematic viscosity of low-viscosity fluids such as gases and very thin liquids.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the milli- prefix to the stokes, providing a scale for measuring 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 low-viscosity fluids where the stokes would be too large a unit.
