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 Inch per Second

in²/s

Definition

The square inch per second is an imperial unit of kinematic viscosity, representing the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density over a very small area in the imperial system. It is used for measuring low kinematic viscosities in imperial units.

History/Origin

This unit originates from the imperial system of measurements, where length is measured in inches and time in seconds. It was commonly used in engineering applications in the United States and other countries using imperial units.

Current Use

Still used in some engineering contexts, particularly in the United States and other countries that use imperial units. It provides a practical measure for engineers working with imperial unit systems for small-scale measurements.
