See WP:MOSNUM#Unit names and the discussion, and see Pound-foot (torque) and Foot-pound (energy). However, some topics use traditional units that conflict with the above convention. To handle these, Module:Convert/makeunits includes a specials table that adds an "alttype" (alternate type) field to certain whitelisted units.
It corresponds roughly to the intuitive notion of a fluid's 'thickness'. For instance, honey has a much higher viscosity than water. Viscosity is measured using a viscometer. Measured values span several orders of magnitude. Of all fluids, gases have the lowest viscosities, and thick liquids have the highest.
The pound per square inch (abbreviation: psi) or, more accurately, pound-force per square inch (symbol: lbf/in 2), [1] is a unit of measurement of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units and used primarily in the United States. It is the pressure resulting from a force with magnitude of one pound-force applied to an area of one square ...
The pound and pound-force are equivalent; the two systems differ only in how force and mass are defined. In the BG system the pound is a basic unit from which the unit of mass (the slug ) is defined by Newton's Second Law , whereas in the EE system the units of force and mass (the pound-force and pound-mass respectively) are defined ...
Volume viscosity was introduced in 1879 by Sir Horace Lamb in his famous work Hydrodynamics. [5] Although relatively obscure in the scientific literature at large, volume viscosity is discussed in depth in many important works on fluid mechanics, [ 1 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] fluid acoustics, [ 8 ] [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 2 ] theory of liquids, [ 11 ] [ 12 ...

Avoirdupois is a system of mass based on a pound of 16 ounces, while Troy weight is the system of mass where 12 troy ounces equals one troy pound. The symbol g 0 is used to denote standard gravity in order to avoid confusion with the (upright) g symbol for gram.
