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.

Kilostokes

kSt

Definition

The kilostokes is a unit of kinematic viscosity, representing 10^3 stokes. It is used for measuring the kinematic viscosity of moderately viscous materials in various applications.

History/Origin

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

Current Use

Used in various applications where materials have moderately high kinematic viscosities, such as certain oils, polymers, and thick fluids.
