About Pound per foot-hour (lb/(ft·hr))
An imperial dynamic-viscosity unit used in some US process-engineering and HVAC contexts where timescales are naturally in hours rather than seconds. 1 lb/(ft·hr) ≈ 4.134 × 10⁻⁴ Pa·s. Found in some heat-transfer coefficient calculations and older US chemical engineering handbooks, particularly for gas-phase viscosity at industrial-operating conditions.
About Centipoise (cP)
A CGS dynamic-viscosity unit equal to 0.01 poise (numerically identical to 1 mPa·s). Centipoise is the traditional unit in coatings, paints, petroleum, and food processing — rotational viscometers still often report results in cP by default. Water = 1 cP at 20°C is the famous calibration reference, and heating-oil fluidity, printing inks, and lubricant grades are commonly discussed in cP by industry specialists.
