What does pound/foot/second measure?

Pound/foot/second is an imperial unit of dynamic viscosity that measures a fluid's resistance to shear flow using force, time, and area.

Why convert to gram/centimeter/second?

Gram/centimeter/second is a cgs unit commonly used in scientific research and international applications, making it important for comparisons and standardized analysis.

Can I use this conversion for all types of viscosity?

This conversion specifically applies to dynamic viscosity under equilibrium fluid flow and may not be accurate for varying measurement conditions or fluid states.
