Convert Slugs per foot-second to Pascal-seconds
Convert Slugs per foot-second (slug/(ft·s)) to Pascal-seconds (Pa·s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
Pa·s = slug/(ft·s) × 47.88025898
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 Pascal-seconds
The pascal-second (Pa·s) is the SI coherent unit of dynamic viscosity, equal to 1 kg/(m·s) = 1 N·s/m². Honey at 25 °C is ≈2-10 Pa·s; glycerol ≈1.4 Pa·s; bitumen 10⁴-10⁸ Pa·s. It replaced the poise in SI usage and is the standard unit in research and simulation software (CFD, process simulators). 1 Pa·s = 10 P = 1 000 cP.
