How it is calculated
lb/(ft·s) = cP × 0.0006719689751
Multiply the value in centipoise by 0.0006719689751 to get pounds per foot second.
Example
To convert 25 cP to pounds per foot second: 25 × 0.0006719689751 = 0.0167992 lb/(ft·s).

About the units
- Centipoise
- One hundredth of a poise, exactly 0.001 pascal second, the most used unit for oils, paints and industrial fluids.
- Pound per foot second
- An imperial viscosity unit based on the pound mass, one pound per foot per second, exactly 1.4881639435695537 pascal seconds.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many pounds per foot second are in one centipoise?
1 cP = 0.000671969 lb/(ft·s) exactly.
How do I convert centipoise to pounds per foot second?
Use lb/(ft·s) = cP × 0.0006719689751. For example, 25 cP = 0.0167992 lb/(ft·s).
How many centipoise are in one pound per foot second?
1 lb/(ft·s) = 1,488.16 cP.
What is the difference between dynamic and kinematic viscosity?
Kinematic viscosity is dynamic viscosity divided by the fluid density, measured in square meters per second or centistokes. These converters cover dynamic viscosity only.
Why does one centipoise equal one millipascal second?
A poise is 0.1 pascal second, so one hundredth of it is 0.001 pascal second, which is one millipascal second.
