Convert Millipoises to Slugs per foot-second
Convert Millipoises (mP) to Slugs per foot-second (slug/(ft·s)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
slug/(ft·s) = mP × 2.088543423e-6
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 Slugs per foot-second
The slug per foot-second (slug/(ft·s)) equals 1 lbf·s/ft² ≈ 47.880 Pa·s, the coherent FPS viscosity unit where force is in pound-force. It is used in US aerospace and hydraulic engineering when working with the slug as the unit of mass. Water at 20 °C has a viscosity of ≈2.09×10⁻⁵ slug/(ft·s); hydraulic fluid MIL-PRF-5606 is ≈3×10⁻⁴ slug/(ft·s) at 100 °F. 1 slug/(ft·s) ≈ 47.880 Pa·s.
