What does 1 hectostoke represent in square centimeters per second?

One hectostoke equals 100 square centimeters per second (100 cm²/s).

Why use square inch per second as a viscosity unit?

Square inch per second is the imperial equivalent used for kinematic viscosity in systems that follow US customary units.

Can this converter be used for very small viscosity values?

Converting very small viscosities using hectostokes might be less effective since hectostoke suits large viscosity values.
