What does square centimeter per second measure?

It is a CGS unit of kinematic viscosity that measures the ratio of a fluid's dynamic viscosity to its density, representing momentum diffusivity.

When should I use microstokes as a unit?

Microstokes are ideal for quantifying very low kinematic viscosities in fields like microfluidics and aerodynamic testing.

How do I convert from cm²/s to microstokes?

Multiply the value in square centimeter per second by 1,000,000 to get the equivalent in microstokes.
