Viscosity Units and Conversions Guide

This document defines various units used to measure dynamic and kinematic viscosity. It lists the name, symbol, definition, and relation to SI units for several units of dynamic viscosity including the pascal second, poise, pound per foot hour, pound per foot second, pound-force second per square foot, and pound-force second per square inch. It also does the same for units of kinematic viscosity including the square foot per second, square metre per second, and stokes.
