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.
Millipoise (mP)
A millipoise (mP) equals 0.001 poise or 0.1 cP. Used for low-viscosity fluids and gases. Air at 20°C: 0.18 mP, water at 100°C: 2.8 mP, acetone: 3.1 mP. Provides finer resolution than centipoise for thin fluids and gases.
