What is the decistoke unit used for?

The decistoke (dSt) measures moderate kinematic viscosities commonly reported in lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids using CGS-derived units.

Why would I convert to attostokes?

Attostokes are used to express extremely low kinematic viscosity values important in molecular simulations and nanoscale fluid property studies.

Is the attostoke a practical unit for everyday measurements?

No, attostokes are mainly theoretical or simulation units since measuring such small viscosities requires highly sensitive technologies.
