What is the base unit for kinematic viscosity in SI?

The SI base unit for kinematic viscosity is square meters per second (m²/s).

Why convert from dekastokes to square meter/hour?

Converting from dekastokes to square meter/hour helps translate lab-scale viscosity measurements for use in engineering models or field-scale applications that use hourly time steps.

Can temperature affect the accuracy of this conversion?

Yes, since kinematic viscosity varies with temperature, the conversion assumes consistent temperature conditions for accurate results.
