What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to translate dynamic viscosity values from the imperial FPS unit poundal second per square foot into kilopoise [kP], a unit frequently used for high-viscosity fluids in laboratory and industrial settings.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in poundal second per square foot.
  • Select poundal second/square foot as the input unit.
  • Choose kilopoise [kP] as the target unit.
  • Click convert to get the dynamic viscosity in kilopoise.

Key Features

  • Converts dynamic viscosity between poundal second/square foot and kilopoise [kP]
  • Supports fluid dynamic and materials science applications
  • Browser-based and easy to use
  • Useful for interpreting experimental data in different unit systems

Examples

  • 5 poundal second/square foot converts to approximately 0.0744 kilopoise [kP].
  • 10 poundal second/square foot converts to approximately 0.149 kilopoise [kP].

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying viscosities of lubricants and oils in engineering using FPS units.
  • Performing fluid dynamics and pump analyses retaining imperial units.
  • Converting historical experimental viscosity data from FPS to modern units.
  • Reporting high viscosities of heavy oils and concentrated suspensions in rheology.
  • Characterizing polymer melts and materials processing measurements.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Double-check your input values for accuracy before conversion.
  • Understand that poundal second/square foot is less common in modern practice.
  • Use kilopoise values for high-viscosity fluids when comparing rheology data.
  • Consider further converting kilopoise to pascal-seconds if strict SI compliance is needed.

Limitations

  • Poundal second/square foot is an older imperial unit less used today.
  • Measurement precision may vary during unit system conversions.
  • Kilopoise is a non-SI unit and might require conversion to pascal-seconds for some applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does poundal second per square foot measure?
It measures dynamic (absolute) viscosity as force times time per area in the imperial FPS system.

Why convert poundal second per square foot to kilopoise?
To translate imperial viscosity data to a unit widely used in rheology and materials science, enabling better comparison and analysis.

Is kilopoise an SI unit?
No, kilopoise is a non-SI unit; 1 kP equals 100 pascal-seconds, the SI unit for dynamic viscosity.

Key Terminology

Poundal second per square foot
An imperial FPS unit measuring dynamic viscosity as force applied over time per area.
Kilopoise [kP]
A non-SI unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 1,000 poise or 100 pascal-seconds.
Dynamic viscosity
A fluid's internal resistance to shear flow, representing shear stress per velocity gradient.
