What does exastokes (ESt) measure?

Exastokes is a unit of kinematic viscosity representing 10^18 stokes and is used to express extremely large viscosity values.

Why convert exastokes to square meter per hour?

Converting to square meter per hour allows expressing large kinematic viscosity values in a more practical time scale for field and engineering use.

Is square meter per hour suitable for all viscosity measurements?

Square meter per hour is best for slow, large-scale flows and may not be appropriate for fast or small-scale viscosity studies.
