Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 St to pounds per foot second:
We need to convert stokes to pounds per foot second
Since 1 lb/(ft·s) = 14881.64 St, divide by 14881.64
5 ÷ 14881.64 = 0.0003359845
5 St = 0.0003359845 lb/(ft·s)

About These Units
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.
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.
