FAQ

What is the conversion factor from lb/(ft·s) to P?
1 lb/(ft·s) equals 14.88164 P. To convert, multiply the value in pounds per foot-second by 14.88164.
How do I convert 1 lb/(ft·s) to P?
1 lb/(ft·s) = 14.8816 P. For any value, multiply by 14.88164.
How do I convert P back to lb/(ft·s)?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.0671969. So 1 P = 0.0671969 lb/(ft·s).
When would I need to convert pound per foot-second to poise?
Dynamic viscosity conversions between lb/(ft·s) and P are common in fluid characterisation, pump and control valve sizing, pipeline pressure-drop calculations, and lubrication engineering. Centipoise (cP) and mPa·s are the most widely used units in process datasheets; Pa·s is required for most simulation tools.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
