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.

Stokes

St

Definition

The stokes is a unit of kinematic viscosity in the CGS system, named after George Gabriel Stokes. It represents the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density and is widely used in scientific and engineering applications for measuring fluid flow characteristics.

History/Origin

Named after George Gabriel Stokes, a British mathematician and physicist who made significant contributions to fluid dynamics. The stokes was the standard unit of kinematic viscosity in the CGS system and is still widely used in many industries.

Current Use

Extensively used in the petroleum industry, chemical engineering, and fluid mechanics for measuring the kinematic viscosity of oils, polymers, and other fluids. It is often more convenient than the square meter per second for practical applications.
