centipoise to pound-force second/square foot
Please provide values below to convert centipoise [cP] to pound-force second/square foot [lbf·s/ft²], or change ↔.
centipoise [cP]
Definition: The centipoise is one one-hundredth of a poise and is commonly used to measure the viscosity of liquids.
Historyandorigin: Derived from the poise, it is more practical for measuring the viscosity of common fluids like water and oil.
CurrentUse: The centipoise is frequently used in industries like lubrication, cosmetics, and food science, where it is easier to work with than the larger poise unit.
funfact: Water has a viscosity of about 1 centipoise at 20°C—making it a useful baseline for viscosity measurements!
pound-force second/square foot [lbf·s/ft²]
Definition: A unit of viscosity measuring the force required to move a fluid over a square foot of surface area.
Historyandorigin: Part of the imperial system, this unit has been historically used in engineering applications involving large-scale fluid dynamics.
CurrentUse: Used for heavy-duty applications, like in the transportation or manufacturing industries.
funfact: It’s often found in the measurement of the viscosity of oils in large machinery and engines!
