What does 1 microstoke represent?

1 microstoke equals 10⁻⁶ stokes and corresponds to a kinematic viscosity of 1 × 10⁻¹⁰ m²/s.

When should I use hectostokes instead of microstokes?

Hectostokes are suited for representing very large kinematic viscosities such as those in heavy industrial fluids, while microstokes are used for very low viscosities in microfluidics or gas-phase dynamics.

How is the conversion between microstokes and hectostokes calculated?

The conversion applies the rate of 1 µSt = 1e-8 hSt, scaling very small viscosity values to much larger ones accordingly.
