About Millipascal-second (mPa·s)
A metric dynamic-viscosity unit equal to 0.001 Pa·s, numerically identical to the CGS centipoise. Convenient because water at room temperature is almost exactly 1 mPa·s — making mPa·s the natural unit for reporting viscosity of water-like fluids and dilute solutions. Pharmaceutical syrups, ink formulations, and biological fluids (blood plasma ~1.2–1.6 mPa·s) are commonly specified in mPa·s.
About Pound per foot-second (lb/(ft·s))
An imperial dynamic-viscosity unit (using pound-mass). Primarily encountered in US petroleum engineering, legacy ASME fluid-mechanics textbooks, and HVAC calculations where engineers prefer consistent US customary units throughout. 1 lb/(ft·s) ≈ 1.488 Pa·s. Most modern US engineering has migrated to centipoise or Pa·s, so this unit is most useful for interpreting older specifications and technical literature.
