What does the microstokes unit measure?

Microstokes (µSt) measure kinematic viscosity, representing momentum diffusivity in fluids at very low viscosity scales.

Why convert microstokes to square meter per hour?

Conversion helps translate very low-scale lab measurements into larger-scale field units using hourly time steps for flow processes.

What should I watch out for in this conversion?

Be mindful of the differing time scales and the small values resulting from converting microstokes to square meter per hour.
