Square Millimeter per Second

mm²/s

Definition

The square millimeter per second is a unit of kinematic viscosity, representing the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density over a very small area. It is used for measuring low kinematic viscosities and provides a convenient scale for many practical applications.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the millimeter length unit to the square meter per second, providing a more convenient scale for measuring low kinematic viscosities in engineering and scientific applications.

Current Use

Commonly used in engineering and scientific applications where the square meter per second would be too large a unit. It is particularly useful for measuring the kinematic viscosity of oils, lubricants, and other fluids.

Centistokes

cSt

Definition

The centistokes is a commonly used unit of kinematic viscosity, representing 10^-2 stokes. It is widely used in industry for measuring the kinematic viscosity of various fluids.

History/Origin

This unit was created by applying the centi- prefix to the stokes, providing a convenient scale for measuring low to moderate kinematic viscosities in industrial applications.

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.
