Square Foot per Second

ft²/s

Definition

The square foot per second is an imperial unit of kinematic viscosity, representing the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density in the imperial system. It is used in the United States and other countries using imperial units for engineering calculations.

History/Origin

This unit originates from the imperial system of measurements, where length is measured in feet 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.

Gigastokes

GSt

Definition

The gigastokes is a large unit of kinematic viscosity, representing 10^9 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 giga- 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.
