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.

Square Centimeter per Second

cm²/s

Definition

The square centimeter per second is a CGS unit of kinematic viscosity, representing the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density in the centimeter-gram-second system. It is commonly used in scientific literature and provides a practical scale for many measurements.

History/Origin

This unit is part of the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units, which was widely used in physics and chemistry before the adoption of the SI system. It provides a smaller base unit for kinematic viscosity measurements.

Current Use

Still used in many scientific contexts, particularly in older literature and certain specialized fields. It is particularly useful for measuring the kinematic viscosity of liquids and gases in laboratory settings.
