Convert Slugs per foot-second to Kilopascal-seconds
Convert Slugs per foot-second (slug/(ft·s)) to Kilopascal-seconds (kPa·s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kPa·s = slug/(ft·s) × 0.04788025898
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.
About Kilopascal-seconds
The kilopascal-second (kPa·s) equals 1 000 Pa·s, used for highly viscous materials such as bitumen binders, polymer melts, and pitch at processing temperatures. Bitumen (road asphalt) at 60 °C has a dynamic viscosity of 100-10 000 Pa·s = 0.1-10 kPa·s; hot-melt adhesives at application temperature are 10-100 kPa·s. 1 kPa·s = 1 000 Pa·s = 10 000 P.
