About Poise (P)
The CGS unit of dynamic viscosity, equal to 0.1 Pa·s. Named after French physician Jean Poiseuille, who studied blood flow in the 19th century. Although superseded by Pa·s in modern SI usage, poise still appears in older fluid-dynamics literature, geological rheology (rock/magma viscosities span 10¹⁰ to 10²¹ P), and some glass/polymer manufacturing tables.
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.

Understanding Poise
The Poise (symbol: P) is a unit of dynamic viscosity. The CGS unit of dynamic viscosity, equal to 0.1 Pa·s. Named after French physician Jean Poiseuille, who studied blood flow in the 19th century. Although superseded by Pa·s in modern SI usage, poise still appears in older fluid-dynamics literature, geological rheology (rock/magma viscosities span 10¹⁰ to 10²¹ P), and some glass/polymer manufacturing tables.
It belongs to the metric measurement system.
Poise are commonly used in lubricant selection, chemical processing, and fluid dynamics.
Understanding Pounds per foot-second
The Pound per foot-second (symbol: lb/(ft·s)) is a unit of dynamic viscosity. 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.
It belongs to the imperial measurement system.
Pounds per foot-second are commonly used in lubricant selection, chemical processing, and fluid dynamics.
