What does pound/foot/second measure?

It measures dynamic viscosity as an imperial unit indicating a fluid's internal resistance to shear flow.

What is a micropoise [µP]?

A micropoise is a cgs unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 1×10⁻⁶ poise, used to measure very low viscosities.

Why convert from pound/foot/second to micropoise?

To facilitate comparisons across unit systems, especially for microfluidic studies and historic rheological data.
