What does gram/centimeter/second measure?

Gram per centimeter per second measures dynamic or shear viscosity in the cgs system, indicating a fluid's resistance to internal shear flow.

Why convert dynamic viscosity to slug/foot/second?

Converting to slug/foot/second is useful for fluid dynamics and engineering calculations based on US customary units or legacy data using that measurement system.

How do I perform viscosity conversion with this tool?

Enter the viscosity in gram/centimeter/second, select slug/foot/second as the target unit, and the tool will calculate the equivalent value using the established conversion factor.
