What does femtopoise measure?

Femtopoise measures extremely small dynamic viscosities, often at the molecular or nanoscale level.

Why convert femtopoise to pound-force second per square foot?

Converting to pound-force second per square foot translates nanoscale viscosity measurements into larger, practical units used in engineering fields such as lubrication and petroleum.

Is this conversion commonly used in everyday viscosity measurements?

No, this conversion is specialized for scientific research and specific engineering applications involving very low or very high viscosities.
