What does square centimeter per second measure?

It measures kinematic viscosity in the CGS system, representing the ratio of a fluid’s dynamic viscosity to its density and indicating momentum diffusivity.

Why convert kinematic viscosity to square foot per second?

Converting to square foot per second is necessary to work with US customary and Imperial system data, facilitating engineering calculations and comparisons with international standards.

Is this conversion applicable for all fluids?

The conversion applies generally for fluids where kinematic viscosity is measured, but exact accuracy depends on measurement precision and consistency in unit usage.
