What does slug/foot/second measure?

Slug/foot/second is an Imperial unit measuring dynamic viscosity as mass divided by length and time, expressing fluid resistance to shear.

Why convert slug/foot/second to nanopoise?

Converting to nanopoise allows expressing viscosity values in extremely fine CGS units useful for microfluidics and vacuum experiments.

Are there any issues converting these units?

Yes, values become very large during conversion, which can complicate numerical handling and readability.
