How to Convert Square Feet per Hour to Pounds per Foot Second
The square foot per hour and pound per foot second are both units of viscosity. 1 pound per foot second equals 57666.470333 square feet per hour. This means to convert square feet per hour to pounds per foot second, you divide by 57666.470333.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 ft²/h to pounds per foot second:
We need to convert square feet per hour to pounds per foot second
Since 1 lb/(ft·s) = 57666.470333 ft²/h, divide by 57666.470333
5 ÷ 57666.470333 = 8.6705497512e-5
5 ft²/h = 8.6705497512e-5 lb/(ft·s)

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.
