What does pound-force second per square inch measure?

It is an Imperial unit of dynamic viscosity relating shear stress to shear rate.

When should I convert viscosity units from lbf·s/in² to slug/(ft·s)?

When performing fluid dynamics calculations or interpreting legacy engineering data requiring mass-length-time units.

Are there any limitations to this unit conversion?

Yes, it applies only to dynamic viscosity and may involve small rounding differences; temperature effects should also be considered.
