Kinematic viscosity is the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density of the fluid. The SI unit of the quantity is square meter per second (symbol m²/s). The most frequent used unit of kinematic viscosity is Centistokes (cSt). 1 Centistokes (cSt) is the kinematic viscosity of a fluid with dynamic viscosity of 1 cP and volumic mass 1 g/cm³.
The kinematic viscosity of demineralized water at 20°C is approximately 1.0 × 10^-6 m^2/s.
Old units for electrical conductivity (EC)SI units of electric resistance and electric conductance are ohm (Ω) and siemens (Si). The unit mho ("ohm" in reverse order) for conductance should no longer be used (1 mho = 1 Si). abohm and abmho are older units from the centimetre-gram-second electromagnetic system. statohm and statmho are from the centimetre-gram-second electrostatic system.see also this forum http://landviser.us/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3&p=19#p19The question is about conductivity, not, as the above answer, conductance. The siemens in the unit of measurement for conductance, whereas the siemens per metre is the unit for conductivity.
Viscosity describes a fluid's resistance to flow or change in form, essentially measuring thickness of a liquid in everyday terms. The higher the viscosity the slower an object can pass though it; likewise, the lower the viscosity the faster an object will be able to move though it.For example: You can move a spoon more easily though a bowl of water than through a bowl of honey. The water is less viscous (thinner) compared to the (thick) honey.
The viscosity of cerebrospinal fluid is typically low, with a range of 0.6-1.5 centipoise. This low viscosity allows for the smooth flow and circulation of cerebrospinal fluid within the central nervous system.
The higher the viscosity, the slower the rate of diffusion. Think of a liquid trying to diffuse through a plate of water (low viscosity) versus a liquid trying to diffuse through a plate of agar (high viscosity)
You have to distinguish dynamic viscosity and kinematic viscosity. Different units are used for both - the standard (SI) unit for dynamic viscosity is Pascal x second, while the unit for kinematic viscosity is meter2/second.
The Si unit for viscosity is Pa·s = kg/(s·m).
The kinematic viscosity of a fluid is found by dividing the dynamic viscosity by the density of the fluid. The kinematic viscosity of water changes depending on the temperature of the water. It ranges from .29 SI units to 1.787 SI units.
what is the significance of kinamatics viscosity
The SI unit for viscosity is called the Pascal-Second. The Pascal Second is equivalent to kilogram per meter or (N. s)/m2.
It is the ratio of the dynamic viscosity to the density of the fluid.

The correct spelling is centistoke. The ratio of a absolute viscosity of a liquid in centipoise to the density. It is a cgs unit of kinematic viscosity in customary use that is one hundredth of a stokes.
The kinematic viscosity of water at 74 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately 1.042 centistokes.

The Pascal second (Pa s), is the standard SI unit.
Dynamic viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow under shear stress, while kinematic viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow under gravitational forces. Dynamic viscosity is expressed in units like Pascal-seconds (Pa·s) or centipoise (cP), while kinematic viscosity is expressed in units like square meters per second (m^2/s) or centistokes (cSt). The two are related through the fluid's density, with kinematic viscosity being the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density.
