What Is This Tool?

This converter changes kinematic viscosity values from square inch/second, an imperial unit, to kilostokes, a metric unit designed to express high viscosities, facilitating compatibility across measurement systems.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the viscosity value in square inch/second
  • Select the 'square inch/second [in^2/s]' as the input unit
  • Choose 'kilostokes [kSt]' as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to get the result in kilostokes
  • Use the output for your engineering, petroleum, or industrial needs

Key Features

  • Converts kinematic viscosity from square inch/second to kilostokes
  • Supports engineering and industrial applications involving fluid viscosity
  • Browser-based tool requiring no installations
  • Provides examples for intuitive understanding
  • Adheres to standardized unit definitions and conversion rates

Examples

  • Convert 10 square inch/second: equals 0.064516 kilostokes
  • Convert 100 square inch/second: equals 0.64516 kilostokes

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying kinematic viscosity of lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids using imperial units
  • Quality control in petroleum refining by switching to metric high-viscosity units
  • Characterizing very heavy oils, bitumen, and tars in industrial specifications
  • Processing high-viscosity polymer melts, resins, or adhesives
  • Analyzing slow geophysical and volcanic flows involving highly viscous substances

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always verify the unit conventions before converting to avoid errors
  • Use this tool for fluids with moderate to very high kinematic viscosities
  • Be cautious of rounding effects in precise engineering calculations
  • Cross-check conversions when transitioning between imperial and metric units
  • Use smaller viscosity units when dealing with low-viscosity fluids instead

Limitations

  • Linear conversion may require attention to precision in engineering contexts
  • Less suitable for fluids with very low viscosity where smaller units apply
  • Differences in unit systems may cause errors if not strictly adhered to

Frequently Asked Questions

What does square inch/second measure?
It measures kinematic viscosity representing the fluid's resistance to flow, defined as an area moved per second in imperial units.

When should I use kilostokes instead of stokes?
Kilostokes are used for very high kinematic viscosities typical of heavy oils, bitumen, and polymer melts where large unit values are more practical.

Is this conversion accurate for low-viscosity fluids?
It is less optimal for very low viscosities; smaller viscosity units better suit those cases.

Key Terminology

Square inch/second [in^2/s]
An imperial unit of kinematic viscosity describing the area moved per second, used in lubricating oils and hydraulic fluid measurements.
Kilostokes [kSt]
A metric unit of kinematic viscosity equal to 1000 stokes, suitable for very high viscosity fluids.
Kinematic Viscosity
The ratio of dynamic viscosity to density, indicating the fluid's ability to resist flow under gravity.
