Convert Millipascal-seconds to Pounds per foot-second
Convert Millipascal-seconds (mPa·s) to Pounds per foot-second (lb/(ft·s)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
lb/(ft·s) = mPa·s × 0.0006719689751
About Millipascal-seconds
The millipascal-second (mPa·s) equals 10⁻³ Pa·s and is numerically identical to the centipoise (cP). It is the standard unit in modern SI-based fluid-property tables. Water at 20 °C is ≈1.002 mPa·s; blood plasma ≈1.2 mPa·s; light mineral oil 20-60 mPa·s. 1 mPa·s = 10⁻³ Pa·s = 1 cP.
About Pounds per foot-second
The pound per foot-second (lb/(ft·s)) equals 0.45359237/0.3048 ≈ 1.4882 Pa·s, the absolute viscosity unit in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system. It appears in legacy US chemical engineering textbooks and fluid mechanics problems stated in USC units. A heavy fuel oil at 50 °C with viscosity 0.050 Pa·s = 0.0336 lb/(ft·s). 1 lb/(ft·s) ≈ 1.4882 Pa·s = 14.882 P.
