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.

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.
