About These Units
Pound-force Second per Square Foot (lbf·s/ft²)
Pound-force second per square foot (lbf·s/ft²) is the primary US imperial dynamic viscosity unit, equal to 47.88 Pa·s. Used in HVAC, hydraulics, and US engineering calculations. Also called poundal-second per square foot. Water is about 2.1×10⁻⁵ lbf·s/ft².
Centistokes (cSt)
The centistoke (cSt) is the most widely used kinematic viscosity unit, equal to 1 mm²/s. Water at 20°C: 1 cSt (reference). Motor oil grades: SAE 30 is 100 cSt at 40°C. ISO viscosity grades (VG 32, VG 46, etc.) specify cSt at 40°C. Standard for lubricant specifications worldwide.
