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.
Kilogram per Meter Second (kg/(m·s))
Kilograms per meter-second (kg/(m·s)) is another SI form of dynamic viscosity, showing the mass-length-time dimensions. Equivalent to Pa·s and N·s/m². Useful for dimensional analysis in fluid mechanics. Water at 20°C: 0.001 kg/(m·s).
