Terapoise is a unit of dynamic viscosity in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units, representing ten poise. It measures the internal resistance of a fluid to flow under an applied force, essentially describing a fluid's thickness or stickiness. In practical terms, a fluid with a higher terapoise value indicates it has more resistance to flow compared to a fluid with a lower value. This unit is crucial in industries where fluid dynamics play a vital role, such as lubrication, paint formulation, and the food industry, where understanding viscosity ensures product consistency and performance.
Definition of Pound/foot/hourPound/foot/hour is a non-standard unit of viscosity that describes the resistance of a fluid to flow. It expresses the force in pounds required to move a one-foot column of the fluid one foot in one hour. This unit is often used in specific engineering contexts where imperial units are preferred. Understanding viscosity using this unit helps in the analysis and design of fluid systems, particularly in industries such as oil and gas, where fluid resistance impacts the efficiency of transport and processing operations. It provides a practical measure for comparing the flow characteristics of different fluids.
Terapoise (P) | Pound/foot/hour (lb/ft/hr) |
---|---|
1 P | 0.671969 lb/ft/hr |
2 P | 1.343938 lb/ft/hr |
5 P | 3.359845 lb/ft/hr |
10 P | 6.719690 lb/ft/hr |
20 P | 13.439380 lb/ft/hr |
50 P | 33.598450 lb/ft/hr |
100 P | 67.196900 lb/ft/hr |
200 P | 134.393800 lb/ft/hr |
500 P | 335.984500 lb/ft/hr |
1000 P | 671.969000 lb/ft/hr |
1 P = 0.671969 lb/ft/hr
1 lb/ft/hr = 1.4881639 P
Example 1:
Convert 5 P to lb/ft/hr:
5 P = 5 × 0.671969 lb/ft/hr = 3.359845 lb/ft/hr
Example 2:
Convert 3.5 P to lb/ft/hr:
3.5 P = 3.5 × 0.671969 lb/ft/hr = 2.3518925 lb/ft/hr
Historically, converting terapoise to pound/foot/hour has been pivotal in bridging the gap between metric and imperial systems in fluid dynamics. Initially, the need arose in industries such as petrochemicals and lubricants, where understanding viscosity was crucial for efficiency. As technology advanced, the demand for accurate conversion tools grew, leading to the development of digital converters. These tools have simplified complex calculations, enabling engineers and scientists to focus on innovation and application rather than manual conversions. Today, such converters are indispensable, ensuring precision and fostering seamless international collaboration.
