Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 lb/(ft·s) to millistokes:
We need to convert pounds per foot second to millistokes
Since 1 lb/(ft·s) = 14881640 mSt, multiply by 14881640
5 × 14881640 = 74408200
5 lb/(ft·s) = 74408200 mSt

About These Units
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.
Millistokes (mSt)
A millistokes (mSt) equals 0.001 stokes or 0.1 centistokes. Used for low-viscosity fluids: water is 10 mSt at 20°C. Provides finer resolution for thin fluids like solvents, fuels, and aqueous solutions. Rarely used; centistokes preferred.
