How to Convert Poise to Pound per Foot per Second

Conversion Formula

1 P = 0.067 lb/(ft·s)
1 lb/(ft·s) = 14.882 P

Example

Convert 15 P to lb/(ft·s):

15 P = 15 × 0.067 lb/(ft·s) = 1.008 lb/(ft·s)

Poise

P

Definition

The poise is a unit of dynamic viscosity in the CGS system, named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille. It represents the viscosity of a fluid in which a force of one dyne per square centimeter produces a velocity gradient of one centimeter per second per centimeter.

History/Origin

Named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille, a French physicist who studied fluid flow. The poise was the standard unit of dynamic viscosity in the CGS system and is still widely used in many industries.

Current Use

Extensively used in the petroleum industry, chemical engineering, and food processing for measuring the viscosity of oils, polymers, and other fluids. It is often more convenient than the pascal second for practical applications.

Pound per Foot per Second

lb/(ft·s)

Definition

The pound per foot per second is an imperial unit of dynamic viscosity, representing the resistance of a fluid to flow when a force of one pound-force per square foot is applied.

History/Origin

This unit originates from the imperial system of measurements, where mass is measured in pounds and length in feet. It was commonly used in engineering applications in the United States and other countries using imperial units.

Current Use

Still used in some engineering contexts, particularly in the United States and other countries that use imperial units. It provides a practical measure for engineers working with force-based calculations in imperial units.
