What does a millipoise measure?

Millipoise is a CGS-derived unit of dynamic viscosity used to measure the internal resistance to flow in low-viscosity fluids at a finer scale.

When should I use pound/foot/hour units?

Pound/foot/hour units are used primarily in US customary engineering settings to specify viscosity in legacy data and calculations involving time expressed in hours.

How do I convert millipoise to pound/foot/hour?

Multiply the millipoise value by the conversion factor 0.2419088311 to get the viscosity in pound/foot/hour.
