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.

Dyne Second per Square Centimeter (dyn·s/cm²)

Dyne seconds per square centimeter (dyn·s/cm²) is the fundamental CGS viscosity definition, equivalent to one poise. Shows viscosity as shear stress (dyn/cm²) times time divided by velocity gradient. One dyn·s/cm² = 1 P = 0.1 Pa·s.
