Pound-Force Second per Square Inch (lbf·s/in²): High-Pressure Viscosity Measurement

The Pound-force second per square inch (lbf·s/in²) is an imperial unit of dynamic viscosity, suitable for measuring fluid resistance under high-pressure conditions. It represents the force in pound-force required to move a fluid layer over another with a velocity gradient of one inch per second across a one-inch gap.

This unit is particularly relevant in high-pressure hydraulic systems and applications where precise viscosity measurements are critical for system performance and safety. Understanding and utilizing lbf·s/in² allows engineers to design and maintain systems that operate efficiently under demanding conditions.

To convert lbf·s/in² to SI units, multiply by approximately 6894.76, obtaining the equivalent value in Pascal seconds (Pa·s).

The Reyn: A British Unit of Dynamic Viscosity

The Reyn is a British unit of dynamic viscosity, named in honor of Osborne Reynolds, a pioneer in fluid mechanics. It represents the force in pound-force required to move a fluid layer over another with a velocity gradient of one inch per second across a one-inch gap.

While the Reyn is largely obsolete, understanding this unit is important when dealing with historical engineering documents and literature. It provides insight into the evolution of viscosity measurement and the development of fluid dynamics as a discipline.

Converting the Reyn to SI units involves multiplying by approximately 6890, yielding the equivalent value in Pascal seconds (Pa·s).
