What Is This Tool?

This tool allows you to convert dynamic viscosity values between pound-force second per square inch, an Imperial/US customary unit, and kilogram-force second per square meter, a non-SI metric unit. It helps translate viscosity measurements from one system to another to support engineering and scientific applications.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the viscosity value in pound-force second per square inch
  • Select pound-force second/sq. inch as the input unit
  • Choose kilogram-force second/square meter as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in kilogram-force second/square meter
  • Review the converted viscosity result for your engineering or analysis needs

Key Features

  • Converts dynamic viscosity values between pound-force second/sq. inch and kilogram-force second/square meter
  • Supports unit translation between US customary and non-SI metric systems
  • Calculates conversions using the exact known conversion rate
  • Useful for handling legacy viscosity data and engineering specifications
  • Browser-based and easy to operate without specialized software

Examples

  • Convert 2 pound-force second/sq. inch to kilogram-force second/square meter, resulting in approximately 1406.14 kgf·s/m²
  • Convert 0.5 pound-force second/sq. inch to kilogram-force second/square meter, yielding about 351.53 kgf·s/m²

Common Use Cases

  • Interpreting viscosity of thick greases, heavy oils, or bitumen in US customary units
  • Specifying polymer melts and adhesives properties in industrial processes using psi-based units
  • Converting legacy laboratory viscosity data measured in pound-force second per square inch
  • Reporting viscosity in non-SI units for older equipment or literature references
  • Translating viscosity measurements for lubricants and hydraulic fluids when converting to SI units for computational fluid dynamics

Tips & Best Practices

  • Double-check input values and units before conversion to avoid errors
  • Use this conversion tool to maintain consistency when working with different engineering standards
  • Be aware of unit system differences, particularly when precision is critical
  • Apply converted values carefully in calculations requiring SI conformity
  • Keep track of original and converted units when documenting fluid viscosity data

Limitations

  • The units are from different measurement systems and are not standardized like SI units
  • Conversion precision could be affected by rounding and varying unit definitions
  • Use caution when applying conversions in highly sensitive or precision-dependent engineering calculations
  • This tool does not replace SI unit measurements but aids in translation between unit systems
  • Differences in unit systems might lead to inconsistencies if not handled properly

Frequently Asked Questions

What is pound-force second per square inch used for?
It is an Imperial/US customary unit used to report dynamic viscosity, particularly for thick greases, heavy oils, bitumen, and in certain polymer processing contexts.

Why convert pound-force second/sq. inch to kilogram-force second/square meter?
Converting between these units helps translate viscosity data from US customary to non-SI metric units, facilitating comparison, interpretation, and integration across different engineering standards.

Is kilogram-force second/square meter an SI unit?
No, kilogram-force second per square meter is a non-SI unit of dynamic viscosity but relates directly to pascal-seconds, the SI standard.

Key Terminology

Pound-force second per square inch (lbf·s/in²)
An Imperial unit of dynamic viscosity relating shear stress to shear rate, commonly used for thick lubricants and polymers in US customary engineering contexts.
Kilogram-force second per square meter (kgf·s/m²)
A non-SI unit representing dynamic viscosity based on kilogram-force, used in older engineering literature and some fluid property specifications.
Dynamic Viscosity
A measure of a fluid's resistance to flow or internal friction under shear stress.
