About Square millimeter per second (mm²/s)

A metric kinematic-viscosity unit numerically equal to the CGS centistoke (1 cSt ≡ 1 mm²/s exactly = 10⁻⁶ m²/s). mm²/s is the universal working unit in lubricant engineering, fuels, and hydraulic-fluid specification because typical values fall in the convenient 1-1,000 range. Reference values: water at 20 °C 1.00 mm²/s (the famous calibration baseline), SAE 30 engine oil at 40 °C ~100 mm²/s, heavy gear oil 1,000-2,000 mm²/s, EP-90 gear oil 220-330 mm²/s, ATF (automatic-transmission fluid) ~38 mm²/s at 40 °C. Industry standards: ISO 3104 (Petroleum products — kinematic-viscosity test method), ASTM D445 (the standard US capillary-viscometer test), ISO VG (Viscosity Grade) lubricant classification system — VG 32, VG 46, VG 68, VG 100, VG 220 numbers ARE the cSt/mm²/s value at 40 °C, ±10%. Marine residual fuel oil (HFO) per ISO 8217 quotes viscosity in mm²/s at 50 °C (RMK 700 grade = 700 mm²/s at 50 °C).

About Square foot per second (ft²/s)

An imperial unit of kinematic viscosity equal to ≈ 0.092903 m²/s = 92,903 cSt per NIST SP 811. Ft²/s is a very large unit — appropriate for gaseous and highly mobile fluids but unwieldy for common liquids (water at 20 °C is only 1.08 × 10⁻⁵ ft²/s, which is essentially zero on a normal scale). Primarily encountered in: pre-1990s US-edition fluid-mechanics textbooks (Streeter, Roberson-Crowe, Olson) where the entire problem set is in lb-ft-s units to keep dimensional analysis clean; older US petroleum engineering pipeline-flow literature; and some US Bureau of Reclamation hydraulics publications. Reference values: air at 60 °F ~1.6 × 10⁻⁴ ft²/s; standard atmospheric air at 32,000 ft (jetliner cruise altitude) ~5.5 × 10⁻⁴ ft²/s. Convert ft²/s to m²/s by multiplying by 0.0929; to cSt by multiplying by 92,903.
