How to Convert Stokes to Square Feet per Second
The stokes and square foot per second are both units of viscosity. 1 square foot per second equals 929.0304 stokes. This means to convert stokes to square feet per second, you divide by 929.0304.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 St to square feet per second:
We need to convert stokes to square feet per second
Since 1 ft²/s = 929.0304 St, divide by 929.0304
5 ÷ 929.0304 = 0.0053819552
5 St = 0.0053819552 ft²/s

About These Units
Stokes (St)
The stokes (St) is the CGS unit of kinematic viscosity equal to 1 cm²/s or 100 centistokes. Named after physicist George Stokes. Water at 20°C: 0.01 St, light motor oil: 0.3-1 St at 40°C. One stokes = 10⁻⁴ m²/s. Common in technical literature.
Square Foot per Second (ft²/s)
Square feet per second (ft²/s) is the US imperial kinematic viscosity unit equal to 929 stokes or 92,903 centistokes. Water at 20°C: 1.08×10⁻⁵ ft²/s. Used in US fluid mechanics, pipe flow calculations, and HVAC engineering. One ft²/s = 0.0929 m²/s.
