What does 1 pound/foot/second measure in terms of viscosity?

It measures dynamic viscosity as an imperial unit equal to one pound-force second per square foot, representing a fluid's internal resistance to shear flow.

Why convert pound/foot/second to nanopoise?

Converting to nanopoise allows comparing and reporting extremely small viscosity values, especially important in microfluidics and research requiring fine resolution.

Can this converter be used for non-steady or varying conditions?

No, this conversion assumes steady physical conditions and standard unit definitions; variations in temperature or pressure are not considered.
