Convert Millipoises to Pounds per foot-second
Convert Millipoises (mP) to Pounds per foot-second (lb/(ft·s)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
lb/(ft·s) = mP × 6.719689751e-5
About Millipoises
The millipoise (mP) equals 10⁻⁴ Pa·s, an intermediate CGS unit between the micropascal-second gas range and the centipoise liquid range. It is occasionally used in older European scientific literature and in the textile industry for sizing-solution viscosity. Air at 20 °C is ≈ 0.185 mP; a 0.5% polymer solution might read 5-20 mP. 1 mP = 10⁻⁴ Pa·s = 0.1 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.
