What Is This Tool?

This tool converts dynamic viscosity measurements from slug/foot/second, a unit used in the Imperial system, to poise [P], the CGS unit for dynamic viscosity widely applied in tribology and rheology.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the viscosity value in slug/foot/second.
  • Select the desired output unit, which is poise [P].
  • Click the convert button to see the result instantly.
  • Review the conversion results and associated examples for clarity.

Key Features

  • Convert viscosity values between slug/foot/second and poise [P] quickly and accurately.
  • Supports legacy Imperial unit conversions to modern CGS system units.
  • Browser-based and easy to use without requiring additional software.
  • Provides clear, practical examples to guide users through common conversions.

Examples

  • 1 slug/foot/second equals approximately 478.80 poise [P].
  • 0.5 slug/foot/second converts to about 239.40 poise [P].

Common Use Cases

  • Converting fluid dynamic viscosity measurements from Imperial units to CGS units.
  • Comparing and integrating older US customary data with modern lab and industry reports.
  • Using in automotive engine design, lubrication technology, and polymer processing analysis.
  • Supporting rheological testing and tribology research with unit conversion.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Make sure to verify the input unit is in slug/foot/second before converting.
  • Use this tool to help translate data for engineering applications involving fluid flow.
  • Double-check large conversions to minimize rounding errors due to multiplicative factors.
  • Be aware that additional conversions to centipoise may be necessary for certain applications.

Limitations

  • The slug/foot/second unit is largely outdated and mainly relevant in Imperial unit contexts.
  • Conversion factors are large, which can sometimes lead to minor rounding inaccuracies.
  • Poise is often reported in centipoise, so further conversion steps might be required for specific uses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is slug/foot/second used for in viscosity measurements?
It measures dynamic viscosity in the Imperial system, often used in fluid dynamics and legacy engineering data.

Why convert slug/foot/second viscosity to poise?
To translate viscosity data from Imperial units into CGS units better suited for lubrication engineering and rheological analyses.

Is there a difference between poise and centipoise?
Yes, centipoise is a smaller unit where 1 centipoise equals 0.01 poise, commonly used in laboratory reports.

Key Terminology

Slug/foot/second
An Imperial dynamic viscosity unit defined as one slug of mass divided by one foot and one second, representing shear resistance.
Poise [P]
A CGS unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 1 gram per centimeter per second and used to quantify a fluid's internal resistance to flow.
Dynamic viscosity
A measure of a fluid's resistance to shear stress during flow.
