centipoise to pound-force second/square inch
Please provide values below to convert centipoise [cP] to pound-force second/square inch [lbf·s/in²], 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 inch [lbf·s/in²]
Definition: This is a unit used to measure the viscosity of a fluid, utilizing the pound-force in relation to the square inch.
Historyandorigin: Rooted in imperial measurements, this unit was commonly used in industries operating in the U.S. before the widespread adoption of SI units.
CurrentUse: It is still used in certain mechanical and hydraulic systems, especially in countries using imperial units.
funfact: This unit is helpful in industries like automotive engineering, where viscosity needs to be measured in imperial units!

How to Convert centipoise to pound-force second/square inch
1 centipoise [cP] = 0.0145037738 pound-force second/square inch [lbf·s/in²]
1 pound-force second/square inch [lbf·s/in²] = 68.947572932 centipoise [cP]
we use cross multiplication method
centipoise [cP] → pound-force second/square inch [lbf·s/in²]
1 → 0.0145037738
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.0145037738=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0217556607
