How to Convert Stokes to Square Millimeter per Second

Conversion Formula

1 St = 100 mm²/s
1 mm²/s = 0.01 St

Example

Convert 15 St to mm²/s:

15 St = 15 × 100 mm²/s = 1500 mm²/s

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.

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.
