pound-force second/square foot to centipoise
Please provide values below to convert pound-force second/square foot [lbf·s/ft²] to centipoise [cP], or change ↔.
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!
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!

How to Convert pound-force second/square foot to centipoise
1 pound-force second/square foot [lbf·s/ft²] = 0.4788025898 centipoise [cP]
1 centipoise [cP] = 2.0885434233 pound-force second/square foot [lbf·s/ft²]
we use cross multiplication method
pound-force second/square foot [lbf·s/ft²] → centipoise [cP]
1 → 0.4788025898
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.4788025898=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.7182038847
