Square Foot per Hour

ft²/h

Definition

The square foot per hour is an imperial 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 in imperial units.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the hour time unit to the square foot per second, providing a more convenient scale for measuring very low kinematic viscosities in imperial unit systems.

Current Use

Used in specialized applications where very low kinematic viscosities need to be expressed in imperial units over hourly time periods, particularly in certain industrial processes and scientific measurements.

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.
