What is the femtostoke (fSt) unit?

The femtostoke is a CGS-derived unit of kinematic viscosity equal to 10⁻¹⁵ stokes where 1 stoke = 1 cm²/s, used to express extremely small viscosity values.

What does a kilostoke (kSt) measure?

A kilostoke equals 1,000 stokes and measures very large kinematic viscosities such as those of heavy oils or slow geophysical flows.

Why convert between femtostokes and kilostokes?

Converting between these units helps relate viscosity measurements across vastly different scales, from molecular-scale fluids to industrial heavy substances.
