What does decipoise measure?

Decipoise (dP) measures dynamic or absolute viscosity, representing a fluid's internal resistance to shear flow, commonly used in industrial and laboratory applications.

When should I use femtopoise?

Femtopoise (fP) is used to express extremely small viscosity values such as those encountered in nanoscale simulations, rarefied gas research, and precision rheology calibration.

How do I convert from decipoise to femtopoise?

Multiply the value in decipoise by 100000000000000 to get the equivalent viscosity in femtopoise.
