What Is This Tool?

This tool converts kinematic viscosity values from stokes (St), a CGS metric unit, into square inch per second (in²/s), an imperial unit. It helps translate fluid viscosity measurements between metric and US customary systems essential in various engineering and industrial fields.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the kinematic viscosity value in stokes (St).
  • Select stokes as the input unit and square inch per second as the output unit.
  • Click convert to get the equivalent value in square inch per second (in²/s).

Key Features

  • Converts kinematic viscosity from stokes to square inch per second accurately.
  • Supports fluid property conversions relevant to lubrication and petroleum industries.
  • Provides straightforward input and output for ease of use in engineering contexts.

Examples

  • Convert 5 St: 5 × 0.15500031 = 0.77500155 in²/s.
  • Convert 10 St: 10 × 0.15500031 = 1.5500031 in²/s.

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying kinematic viscosity of lubricants and engine oils between metric and imperial units.
  • Using input parameters for fluid-flow simulations and CFD models in US customary systems.
  • Quality control and documentation of petroleum and hydraulic fluid viscosity in industries using imperial units.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure consistency by converting all relevant physical properties when switching unit systems.
  • Be mindful of rounding during conversion to avoid inaccuracies in sensitive calculations.
  • Use this conversion for projects or reports requiring imperial units rather than SI units for global standards.

Limitations

  • Unit differences require precise conversion; rounding errors may affect delicate analyses.
  • Direct comparisons can be complicated if other properties are not similarly converted.
  • Some tasks might still need conversions to SI units for universal compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does one stokes represent in terms of area/time?
One stokes is defined as one square centimetre per second, measuring kinematic viscosity in CGS units.

Why convert stokes to square inch per second?
Conversion is necessary to express kinematic viscosity in imperial units commonly used in the US and certain industries.

Is this conversion applicable for all types of fluids?
It applies primarily to fluids where kinematic viscosity measurements are relevant, such as lubricants, engine oils, and hydraulic fluids.

Key Terminology

Stokes [St]
A CGS unit of kinematic viscosity equal to one square centimetre per second.
Square inch per second [in²/s]
An imperial unit of kinematic viscosity representing one square inch moved per second.
Kinematic viscosity
A fluid property that quantifies internal resistance to flow under gravity, defined as the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density.
