What does 1 square millimeter/second represent in terms of kinematic viscosity?

It is a unit measuring kinematic viscosity equal to 1×10⁻⁶ m²/s and numerically the same as 1 centistoke (1 cSt).

Why would I use hectostokes instead of square millimeter/second?

Hectostokes are useful for expressing very large kinematic viscosities of heavy fluids like asphalt or tar where square millimeter/second may be less practical.

Is the conversion between square millimeter/second and hectostokes straightforward?

Yes, the conversion uses a fixed rate: 1 square millimeter/second equals 0.0001 hectostokes.

Key Terminology

Square millimeter/second (mm²/s): A unit of kinematic viscosity representing the rate of momentum diffusion; equals 1×10⁻⁶ m²/s and is numerically the same as 1 centistoke.
Hectostokes (hSt): A unit of kinematic viscosity equal to 100 stokes, where 1 stoke equals 1 cm²/s; thus 1 hSt equals 0.01 m²/s.
Kinematic Viscosity: The ratio of a fluid's dynamic viscosity to its density, measured in units of area per time.
