What does nanostokes measure?

Nanostokes (nSt) is a unit of kinematic viscosity representing very low viscosity fluids, defined as 10⁻⁹ stokes.

Why convert nanostokes to hectostokes?

Conversion helps compare fluids with extremely different viscosities, from microfluidic scale to heavy industrial or geological contexts.

Are these units commonly used together?

Though both measure kinematic viscosity, their huge scale difference means they are used mostly in vastly different applications.
