About These Units

Square Foot per Hour (ft²/h)

Square feet per hour (ft²/h) equals 0.258 stokes or 25.8 centistokes. Used for slow-flowing, high-viscosity materials like heavy oils, asphalt, and polymer melts. Provides convenient numbers for very viscous fluids. One ft²/s = 3,600 ft²/h.

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.
