Convert Grams per square centimetre per second to Pounds per square foot per second
Convert Grams per square centimetre per second (g/(cm²·s)) to Pounds per square foot per second (lb/(ft²·s)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
lb/(ft²·s) = g/(cm²·s) × 2.048161436
About Grams per square centimetre per second
The gram per square centimetre per second (g/(cm²·s)) equals 10 kg/(m²·s) (exact: 1 g = 10⁻³ kg; 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²). It is the CGS coherent mass flux unit and appears in older combustion engineering, rocket propulsion, and nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulic literature. Solid-rocket burn rates: 0.01-0.2 g/(cm²·s). 1 g/(cm²·s) = 10 kg/(m²·s).
About Pounds per square foot per second
The pound per square foot per second (lb/(ft²·s)) equals 0.45359237/0.09290304 ≈ 4.882 kg/(m²·s). It is the coherent FPS mass flux unit, used in US aerospace for rocket motor mass flux, ballistic studies, and hypervelocity heat-shield ablation rate specifications. 1 lb/(ft²·s) ≈ 4.882 kg/(m²·s).
