What is a hectostoke in terms of kinematic viscosity?

Hectostoke (hSt) is a unit representing 100 stokes, where 1 stoke equals 1 cm²/s, commonly used for large viscosity values in metric units.

Why convert hectostokes to square foot per hour?

Conversion helps express kinematic viscosity in imperial units used in U.S. engineering standards and facilitates comparison with historical data.

Can I rely on the conversion for all viscosity measurements?

While generally useful, accuracy depends on consistent unit definitions and precision considerations; always verify units before critical use.
