What is femtopoise used for?

Femtopoise measures very low dynamic viscosities, often in nanoscale, vacuum, or rarefied-gas research, as well as precision rheology.

When should I convert viscosity to poundal second per square foot?

This conversion is useful when working with traditional imperial units in engineering tasks or interpreting historical experimental data.

Is poundal second per square foot a common viscosity unit today?

No, it is an older and less common unit primarily found in legacy data and some FPS-based engineering works.
