What is dekastokes (daSt)?

Dekastokes (daSt) is a CGS-based unit of kinematic viscosity equal to 10 stokes. It is used to measure higher viscosity fluids, with 1 daSt corresponding to 1.0×10⁻³ m²/s.

Why convert dekastokes to square foot per hour?

Converting from dekastokes to square foot per hour translates CGS-based viscosity data into imperial units commonly used in U.S. engineering specifications, aiding consistency across measurement systems.

Can this tool account for temperature variations affecting viscosity?

No, the conversion assumes standard conditions and does not include temperature or pressure effects on viscosity.
