What is a picostoke (pSt)?

A picostoke is a unit of kinematic viscosity equal to 10⁻¹² stokes or 10⁻¹⁶ square meters per second, used for measuring very small fluid viscous diffusion rates.

Why convert picostokes to square foot/second?

Converting to square foot/second translates tiny viscosity measurements into a more common US customary unit for engineering and fluid mechanics calculations.

Where is square foot/second commonly used?

Square foot/second is used in US customary engineering applications, including hydraulic fluid analysis, lubricating oils, and flow behavior studies.
