A Hectopoise is a unit of dynamic viscosity in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is equivalent to 100 Poise, where one Poise is the viscosity of a fluid in which a force of one dyne per square centimeter maintains a velocity of one centimeter per second. Typically, the Hectopoise is used to describe the viscosity of fluids such as lubricants, oils, and gases. By providing a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, the Hectopoise is crucial for understanding and calculating fluid dynamics in various scientific and industrial applications.
Definition of Slug/foot/secondA Slug/foot/second is a unit of dynamic viscosity in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of measurement. It defines a fluid's resistance to shear or flow and is expressed as the force required to move a unit area of fluid with a unit velocity over a unit distance. Specifically, one Slug/foot/second is the viscosity of a fluid where a shear force of one pound-force per square foot results in a velocity gradient of one foot per second over one foot. This unit is fundamental in engineering and physics, especially in scenarios involving fluid mechanics and aerodynamics.

| 5 Hp | 0.00072519 slug/ft/s |
| 10 Hp | 0.00145038 slug/ft/s |
| 20 Hp | 0.00290076 slug/ft/s |
| 50 Hp | 0.0072519 slug/ft/s |
| 100 Hp | 0.0145038 slug/ft/s |
| 200 Hp | 0.0290076 slug/ft/s |
| 500 Hp | 0.072519 slug/ft/s |
| 1000 Hp | 0.145038 slug/ft/s |
1 Hp = 0.000145038 slug/ft/s
1 slug/ft/s = 6894.76 Hp
Example 1:
convert 50 Hp to slug/ft/s:
50 Hp = 50 × 0.000145038 slug/ft/s = 0.0072519 slug/ft/s
Example 2:
convert 0.5 slug/ft/s to Hp:
0.5 slug/ft/s = 0.5 × 6894.76 Hp = 3447.38 Hp
The conversion between Hectopoise and Slug/foot/second combines units from the CGS and FPS systems. Initially, the need for such conversions arose in industries where precise fluid dynamics calculations were essential, such as in aerospace and chemical engineering. Over time, technological advances made it possible to automate these calculations, leading to the development of sophisticated converters. Today, these converters are indispensable tools in many scientific and industrial applications, facilitating smoother operations and more accurate results.
