What does 1 hectopoise equal in pound/foot/hour?

1 hectopoise [hP] equals 24190.883105022 pound/foot/hour [lb/(ft*h)].

When should I use hectopoise for viscosity measurements?

Hectopoise is used to describe very high viscosities such as those in bitumen, heavy crude oil, or polymer melts in material processing and formulation.

Why convert viscosity units from metric to imperial?

Converting units is essential when working with legacy systems, regional regulations, or US-based engineering data that use imperial units like pound/foot/hour.
