What is millipoise used for?

Millipoise is a fine-scale CGS-derived unit used to measure dynamic viscosity of low-viscosity fluids, such as water, solvents, and biomedical fluids.

Why convert millipoise to poundal second per square foot?

Conversion is necessary to translate viscosity data from metric-based laboratory units to imperial FPS units for engineering applications or when comparing historical measurements.

Where is the poundal second/square foot unit applied?

It is used in engineering analyses, lubricant and oil specification, fluid dynamics, and contexts retaining imperial FPS units, particularly in older or historical data.
