How to Convert Slugs per Foot Second to Poise
The slug per foot second and poise are both units of viscosity. 1 slug per foot second equals 478.8026 poise. This means to convert slugs per foot second to poise, you multiply by 478.8026.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 slug/(ft·s) to poise:
We need to convert slugs per foot second to poise
Since 1 slug/(ft·s) = 478.8026 P, multiply by 478.8026
5 × 478.8026 = 2394.013
5 slug/(ft·s) = 2394.013 P

About These Units
Slug per Foot Second (slug/(ft·s))
Slugs per foot-second (slug/(ft·s)) equals 47.88 Pa·s. Uses the slug (mass unit) for consistent force-mass-acceleration in imperial fluid dynamics. Equivalent to lbf·s/ft². Common in US aerospace and mechanical engineering calculations.
Poise (P)
The poise (P) is the CGS unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 0.1 Pa·s or 100 centipoise. Named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille who studied blood flow. Water is 0.01 P, glycerin is ~15 P at 20°C. One poise = 1 g/(cm·s) = 1 dyn·s/cm².
