How to Convert Pound/foot/hour to Pound-force second/sq. foot

Converting Pound/foot/hour (lb/(ft·h)) to Pound-force second/sq. foot (lbf·s/ft²) is a core calculation in Dynamic Viscosity, which quantifies a fluid's internal tangential resistance to shear deformation and laminar flow. This calculation navigates the boundary between the International Metric System (SI) and British Imperial / US Customary engineering standards. In contemporary metrology, Imperial units are defined in terms of exact SI standards via international agreements—notably NIST SP 811 and the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement. Exactly 1 Pound/foot/hour equals 8.633597 × 10⁻⁶ Pound-force second/sq. foot, while 1 lbf·s/ft² equals 115826.57727 lb/(ft·h).

Direct Factor1 lb/(ft·h) = 8.633597 × 10⁻⁶ lbf·s/ft²

Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (pascal second (Pa·s)) without arbitrary rounding:

V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)

1. Source SI Bridge (k_source):1 lb/(ft·h) = 0.000413379 pascal second (Pa·s)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 lbf·s/ft² = 47.88026 pascal second (Pa·s)

Step-by-step substitution for Pound/foot/hour → Pound-force second/sq. foot:V(lbf·s/ft²) = V(lb/(ft·h)) × ( 0.000413379 / 47.88026 ) = V(lb/(ft·h)) × 8.633597 × 10⁻⁶

Mathematical FormulaValue in Pound-force second/sq. foot = Value in Pound/foot/hour × 8.63359709 × 10⁻⁶Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.

Worked Example

For an engineering input of 8 lb/(ft·h), applying the conversion factor yields exactly 6.906878 × 10⁻⁵ lbf·s/ft². At larger operational scale, 240 Pound/foot/hour corresponds to 0.00207206 lbf·s/ft².

Inverse check: 1 lbf·s/ft² = 115826.57727 lb/(ft·h).
