Decipoise (dP) is a CGS unit of dynamic viscosity equal to one tenth of a poise and corresponds to 0.01 pascal-second (Pa·s) in SI units.

Why convert decipoise to slug per foot per second?

This helps translate viscosity values from CGS units to Imperial units used in certain engineering and fluid dynamics contexts, ensuring compatibility with legacy data.

Is the slug per foot per second a common viscosity unit?

It is less commonly used than SI units but is important in specific fields relying on US customary measurements for dynamic viscosity.
