Unit Story
Poise
The poise is the CGS dynamic-viscosity unit. One poise equals 0.1 pascal-second or 100 centipoise.
Pound per foot-second
Pounds per foot-second appears in customary engineering and fluid-mechanics references. One lb/(ft s) is about 1.48816 Pa s.
How This Conversion Works

- Assumption
- Dynamic viscosity measures a fluid's resistance to flow. Values depend strongly on temperature and can also change with pressure, composition, and shear rate. Kinematic viscosity is a different measurement and requires density for conversion.
