pound-force second/square inch to centipoise
Please provide values below to convert pound-force second/square inch [lbf·s/in²] to centipoise [cP], or change ↔.
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!
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!
