Abreviation help.

RE: Abreviation help.

(OP)
Ah yes!  That's gotta be what it is.  Fits with the listing of '1' for water too.

Thanks macmet!

RE: Abreviation help.

Notice the lower case 'c' for centi, and the upper case 'S', for Stokes, which, being a name, is capitalized.

m, for meter is lower case, for example, but units named after a person are upper case:

Amps
Watts
Celsius
Stokes
etc etc

 

RE: Abreviation help.

If cSs is plural for centi-Stokes, the folks should not have used an s at the end to pluralize units unless spelled out.

RE: Abreviation help.

Ooops, St not Ss.

RE: Abreviation help.


The SI unit for kinematic viscosity is m2 s-1.
1 m2 s-1 = 106 cSt.

Thanks Gull and 25362.  Seems to me that there is a plethora of viscosity units!!

poise
Stokes
Saybolt
m2/s
pascal second

Me thinks if there was this many different units for voltage we'd all still be driving horses.
