How to Convert Pounds per Foot Second to Stokes
The pound per foot second and stokes are both units of viscosity. 1 pound per foot second equals 14881.64 stokes. This means to convert pounds per foot second to stokes, you multiply by 14881.64.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 lb/(ft·s) to stokes:
We need to convert pounds per foot second to stokes
Since 1 lb/(ft·s) = 14881.64 St, multiply by 14881.64
5 × 14881.64 = 74408.2
5 lb/(ft·s) = 74408.2 St

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.
Stokes (St)
The stokes (St) is the CGS unit of kinematic viscosity equal to 1 cm²/s or 100 centistokes. Named after physicist George Stokes. Water at 20°C: 0.01 St, light motor oil: 0.3-1 St at 40°C. One stokes = 10⁻⁴ m²/s. Common in technical literature.
