How to Convert Square Feet per Second to Poise
The square foot per second and poise are both units of viscosity. 1 poise equals 1.0763910417 square feet per second. This means to convert square feet per second to poise, you divide by 1.0763910417.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 ft²/s to poise:
We need to convert square feet per second to poise
Since 1 P = 1.0763910417 ft²/s, divide by 1.0763910417
5 ÷ 1.0763910417 = 4.645152
5 ft²/s = 4.645152 P

About These Units
Square Foot per Second (ft²/s)
Square feet per second (ft²/s) is the US imperial kinematic viscosity unit equal to 929 stokes or 92,903 centistokes. Water at 20°C: 1.08×10⁻⁵ ft²/s. Used in US fluid mechanics, pipe flow calculations, and HVAC engineering. One ft²/s = 0.0929 m²/s.
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.
