What Is This Tool?

This tool enables you to convert dynamic viscosity values from the imperial unit poundal second per square foot to the CGS unit decipoise (dP), facilitating comparisons and applications across different measurement systems.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the viscosity value in poundal second per square foot
  • Select poundal second/square foot as the input unit
  • Choose decipoise [dP] as the desired output unit
  • Click convert to view the equivalent viscosity in decipoise

Key Features

  • Converts dynamic viscosity between poundal second/square foot and decipoise
  • Supports imperial (FPS) and CGS unit systems
  • Ideal for engineering, lubrication, and scientific research contexts

Examples

  • 2 poundal second/square foot equals 297.63 decipoise [dP]
  • 0.5 poundal second/square foot equals 74.41 decipoise [dP]

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying or calculating viscosities of lubricants and oils in engineering using older imperial units
  • Performing fluid dynamics or pump and bearing analyses requiring FPS unit compatibility
  • Comparing historical viscosity data reported in FPS units with modern CGS measurements
  • Characterizing flow properties of food products such as syrups and honey in industrial settings

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure temperature and pressure are consistent since viscosity depends on these conditions
  • Be mindful of rounding effects that may slightly affect conversion precision
  • Use this tool to translate values for better compatibility between imperial and CGS systems

Limitations

  • Viscosity values can vary with temperature and pressure; this tool does not account for these factors
  • Conversion involves different unit systems (imperial vs CGS), so slight precision differences may occur
  • Rounding during conversion may cause minor inaccuracies

Frequently Asked Questions

What does poundal second per square foot measure?
It is an imperial unit measuring dynamic viscosity, indicating the resistance of a fluid to shear flow as force applied over time per unit area.

What is decipoise used for?
Decipoise is a CGS unit of dynamic viscosity commonly used to specify lubricating oils and to characterize flow properties of food products.

Why convert from poundal second/square foot to decipoise?
Converting allows compatibility between older imperial measurements and modern CGS units for engineering, research, and industrial applications.

Key Terminology

Poundal second/square foot
An imperial unit of dynamic viscosity representing force applied over time per area, used primarily in older FPS measurement systems.
Decipoise [dP]
A CGS unit of dynamic viscosity equal to one tenth of a poise, used to measure internal resistance to shear flow.
Dynamic viscosity
A measure of a fluid's resistance to flow and shear forces.
