Why convert viscosity units to pound per foot per hour?

This conversion is useful for working with legacy engineering data, regional documents, and imperial unit-based calculations common in the US.

Are kilogram-force second/square meter and pound/foot/hour compatible with SI units?

Kilogram-force second/square meter is a non-SI unit, and pound/foot/hour uses imperial units and hours for time, so careful unit management is needed when integrating with SI.
