Petastokes

PSt

Definition

The petastokes is a very large unit of kinematic viscosity, representing 10^15 stokes. It is used for measuring the kinematic viscosity of very viscous materials in specialized applications.

History/Origin

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

Current Use

Used in specialized applications where materials have very high kinematic viscosities, such as certain polymers, geological materials, and extremely thick fluids.

Square Meter per Hour

m²/h

Definition

The square meter per hour is a unit of kinematic viscosity, representing the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density over a time period of one hour. It is used for measuring very low kinematic viscosities or for applications where hourly rates are more convenient.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the hour time unit to the square meter per second, providing a more convenient scale for measuring very low kinematic viscosities in certain industrial and scientific applications.

Current Use

Used in specialized applications where very low kinematic viscosities need to be expressed in hourly terms, particularly in certain industrial processes and scientific measurements where the standard second-based unit would be too small.
