Convert Square metres per hour to Stokes
Convert Square metres per hour (m²/h) to Stokes (St) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
St = m²/h × 2.777777778
About Square metres per hour
The square metre per hour (m²/h) equals 1/3600 m²/s ≈ 277.8 cSt. It is convenient in European process engineering when kinematic viscosity is used alongside metre-based pipe geometry and hourly flow rates. 1 m²/h ≈ 277.8 cSt.
About Stokes
The stoke (St) equals 1 cm²/s = 10⁻⁴ m²/s, the CGS unit of kinematic viscosity named after Sir George Gabriel Stokes. Its hundredth part, the centistoke, is now dominant, but the stoke still appears in older fluid-mechanics texts and archival API and ASTM data. Water at 20 °C ≈ 0.01004 St; air at 20 °C ≈ 0.1516 St. 1 St = 100 cSt = 10⁻⁴ m²/s.
