What physical property does nanostokes measure?

Nanostokes quantify kinematic viscosity, reflecting a fluid's resistance to flow relative to its density.

Why convert from nanostokes to square meter per hour?

Converting to square meter per hour allows expressing viscosity diffusivity over longer time scales, beneficial for environmental and hydraulic engineering.

Is this conversion useful for everyday fluid measurements?

No, the scale difference means this conversion is mainly important for precise scientific or engineering calculations rather than daily use.
