What Is This Tool?

This converter helps you translate dynamic viscosity values from pound/foot/hour, an imperial engineering unit, to poise, a CGS unit widely used in scientific and industrial contexts. It enables straightforward conversion between these measurement systems for fluid resistance to shear flow.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the numeric viscosity value in pound/foot/hour units
  • Select pound/foot/hour as the source unit and poise as the target unit
  • Initiate the conversion to get the equivalent viscosity in poise
  • Use the converted value for engineering calculations or reporting
  • Refer to examples for guidance on interpreting results

Key Features

  • Converts dynamic viscosity from pound/foot/hour [lb/(ft*h)] to poise [P]
  • Supports units commonly used in engineering, tribology, and rheology
  • Easy-to-use interface for inputting values and obtaining results
  • Uses standardized conversion formulas based on defined unit relationships
  • Suitable for translating imperial viscosity data into CGS units

Examples

  • 5 pound/foot/hour equals 0.0206689435 poise
  • 10 pound/foot/hour equals 0.041337887 poise

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying lubricant or oil viscosity in US-customary engineering documents
  • Conducting viscous flow calculations in piping and rotating equipment
  • Reporting viscosity values of fuels and industrial fluids using hour-based time units
  • Characterizing polymer melt flow in processing operations
  • Translating viscosity measurements for tribology and rheology research

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure consistent interpretation of time units between pound/foot/hour and poise
  • Use the exact conversion factor provided to maintain consistency
  • Double-check unit labels when performing viscous flow calculations
  • Reference conversion examples to verify computed values
  • Consider the context of application, especially in lubrication or polymer processing

Limitations

  • Pound/foot/hour uses imperial units with time in hours; poise uses seconds, requiring accurate time unit handling
  • Conversion accuracy depends on proper application of conversion factors
  • Poise units may be less intuitive for those accustomed to SI units like pascal-second
  • This tool does not account for measurement uncertainties or instrument precision

Frequently Asked Questions

What does pound/foot/hour measure in viscosity?
It measures dynamic viscosity in imperial units, representing a fluid's internal resistance to shear, with force·time per unit area using hours as the time unit.

Why convert pound/foot/hour to poise?
Conversion facilitates using a widely accepted CGS unit, allowing comparison and standardization in scientific, engineering, and industrial settings.

Is poise the same as centipoise?
No. Poise is the base CGS dynamic viscosity unit; centipoise is one hundredth of a poise and commonly used in rheological measurements.

Key Terminology

Pound/foot/hour [lb/(ft*h)]
An imperial dynamic viscosity unit representing internal fluid resistance to shear using force and time (hours), common in US engineering.
Poise [P]
CGS unit of dynamic viscosity defined as 1 gram per centimeter per second, used to quantify fluid resistance to shear flow.
Dynamic Viscosity
A measure of a fluid's internal resistance to flow and deformation under shear stress.
Shear Stress (τ)
Force per unit area exerted parallel to the fluid layer causing deformation.
Shear Rate (du/dy)
The velocity gradient perpendicular to the direction of shear causing fluid deformation.
