Convert Poise to Slug per Foot Second
Type the number of poise that you wish to convert to slugs per foot second.
How to Convert Poise to Slugs per Foot Second
The poise and slug per foot second are both units of viscosity. 1 slug per foot second equals 478.8026 poise. This means to convert poise to slugs per foot second, you divide by 478.8026.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 P to slugs per foot second:
We need to convert poise to slugs per foot second
Since 1 slug/(ft·s) = 478.8026 P, divide by 478.8026
5 ÷ 478.8026 = 0.0104427169
5 P = 0.0104427169 slug/(ft·s)

About These Units
Poise (P)
The poise (P) is the CGS unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 0.1 Pa·s or 100 centipoise. Named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille who studied blood flow. Water is 0.01 P, glycerin is ~15 P at 20°C. One poise = 1 g/(cm·s) = 1 dyn·s/cm².
Slug per Foot Second (slug/(ft·s))
Slugs per foot-second (slug/(ft·s)) equals 47.88 Pa·s. Uses the slug (mass unit) for consistent force-mass-acceleration in imperial fluid dynamics. Equivalent to lbf·s/ft². Common in US aerospace and mechanical engineering calculations.
