Dive in to explore how this converter transforms Dekapoise (dP) to Pounds per foot per hour (lb/ft/h) with just a few clicks.
Dekapoise is a unit of dynamic viscosity in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, equivalent to ten poise. It measures a fluid's internal resistance to flow, indicating how much force is required to move a layer of fluid in relation to another. Primarily used in fields such as physics and engineering, it provides insight into the behavior of liquids under various conditions. The higher the dekapoise value, the thicker the fluid, and the more resistant it is to flow. This unit is essential for applications that require precise control of fluid behavior.
Definition of Pound/foot/hourPound per foot per hour (lb/ft/h) is a non-SI unit of dynamic viscosity commonly used in the United States. It quantifies a fluid's resistance to flow, with the measurement indicating how many pounds of force are needed for a fluid to travel a certain distance in an hour. Used in various industrial and engineering applications, it helps in calculating the necessary power for pumps and engines dealing with fluid dynamics. This unit is pivotal in ensuring the efficient design and operation of systems involving fluid transport.
| Dekapoise (dP) | Pound/foot/hour (lb/ft/h) |
|---|---|
| 1 dP | 0.0209 lb/ft/h |
| 2 dP | 0.0418 lb/ft/h |
| 3 dP | 0.0627 lb/ft/h |
| 4 dP | 0.0836 lb/ft/h |
| 5 dP | 0.1045 lb/ft/h |
| 6 dP | 0.1254 lb/ft/h |
| 7 dP | 0.1463 lb/ft/h |
| 8 dP | 0.1672 lb/ft/h |
| 9 dP | 0.1881 lb/ft/h |
| 10 dP | 0.209 lb/ft/h |
1 dP = 0.0209 lb/ft/h
1 lb/ft/h = 47.847 dP
Example 1:
convert 5 dP to lb/ft/h:
5 dP = 5 × 0.0209 lb/ft/h = 0.1045 lb/ft/h
Example 2:
convert 3.5 dP to lb/ft/h:
3.5 dP = 3.5 × 0.0209 lb/ft/h = 0.07315 lb/ft/h
The Dekapoise to Pound/foot/hour Converter traces its roots to the need for bridging the gap between differing viscosity units used in international industries. Initially, as industries expanded globally, the lack of uniformity in measurement systems posed challenges. Over time, this converter was developed to facilitate seamless conversion between the CGS unit of dekapoise and the imperial unit of pound-foot-hour, enabling smoother operations and improved communication in scientific and engineering domains.
The Dekapoise to Pound-foot-hour Converter proves indispensable in numerous real-world scenarios where fluid dynamics play a critical role. By enabling precise unit conversions, it enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of various industrial applications.
