Nanostokes

nSt

Definition

The nanostokes is a unit of kinematic viscosity, representing 10^-9 stokes. It is used for measuring the kinematic viscosity of extremely low-viscosity fluids such as gases and very thin liquids.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the nano- prefix to the stokes, providing a scale for measuring extremely low kinematic viscosities in specialized scientific and engineering contexts.

Current Use

Used in specialized scientific and engineering applications where materials have extremely low kinematic viscosities, such as gases and very thin liquids.

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.
