pound/foot/second to centipoise
Please provide values below to convert pound/foot/second [lb/ft·s] to centipoise [cP], or change ↔.
pound/foot/second [lb/ft·s]
Definition: A unit of viscosity that uses pounds of force per foot per second to measure fluid resistance.
Historyandorigin: This is part of the imperial system of units and was used in early engineering calculations in fluid systems.
CurrentUse: Used in various engineering fields in the U.S. for measuring the flow of fluids in mechanical and hydraulic systems.
funfact: This unit is particularly useful for measuring the viscosity of oils used in large machines and engines!
centipoise [cP]
Definition: The centipoise is one one-hundredth of a poise and is commonly used to measure the viscosity of liquids.
Historyandorigin: Derived from the poise, it is more practical for measuring the viscosity of common fluids like water and oil.
CurrentUse: The centipoise is frequently used in industries like lubrication, cosmetics, and food science, where it is easier to work with than the larger poise unit.
funfact: Water has a viscosity of about 1 centipoise at 20°C—making it a useful baseline for viscosity measurements!

How to Convert pound/foot/second to centipoise
1 pound/foot/second [lb/ft·s] = 0.0148816394 centipoise [cP]
1 centipoise [cP] = 67.196897514 pound/foot/second [lb/ft·s]
we use cross multiplication method
pound/foot/second [lb/ft·s] → centipoise [cP]
1 → 0.0148816394
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.0148816394=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0223224592
