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.
Pound per Foot Second (lb/(ft·s))
Pounds per foot-second (lb/(ft·s)) is an imperial viscosity unit equal to 1.488 Pa·s. Uses mass rather than force. Also called pound-mass per foot-second. Water at 20°C: 6.7×10⁻⁴ lb/(ft·s). Common in US fluid mechanics textbooks.
