What does picostokes measure?

Picostokes (pSt) measure kinematic viscosity, indicating the rate of viscous diffusion in fluids at very small scales.

Why convert picostokes to square millimeter/second?

Conversion helps translate extremely small kinematic viscosity values into common engineering units for practical use.

Can results be very small after conversion?

Yes, because picostokes represent tiny values, the converted square millimeter/second results may be very small decimals.
