A picostoke (pSt) is a unit of kinematic viscosity equal to 10⁻¹² stokes, or 10⁻¹⁶ square meters per second, measuring how momentum diffuses through a fluid.

Why convert picostokes to square meter per hour?

Converting to square meter per hour helps relate very small-scale viscosity data to larger-scale or slower processes whose timescales are measured in hours, such as groundwater or reservoir modeling.

What is the formula for converting pSt to m²/h?

One picostoke equals 3.6 × 10⁻¹³ square meter per hour.
