What Is This Tool?
This converter helps you change viscosity measurements from exapoise to gigapoise, two large units used to express extremely high dynamic viscosity in the CGS system. It is useful for scientific and industrial applications involving very viscous materials.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the viscosity value in exapoise (EP) you want to convert.
-
Select exapoise as the input unit and gigapoise (GP) as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in gigapoise.
-
Review the result displayed in the output field.
-
Use the converted value for further calculations or data analysis.
Key Features
-

Examples
-
1 exapoise (EP) equals 1,000,000,000 gigapoise (GP).
-
2 exapoise (EP) equals 2,000,000,000 gigapoise (GP).
Common Use Cases
-
Converting very high viscosity values for studies related to heavy polymers and bitumen.
-
Modeling slow creep behavior of geological materials like rocks or ice.
-
Performing unit conversions between CGS poise and SI pascal-second systems in research.
-
Scaling and comparing ultra-high viscosity data in rheology and geophysics.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm that viscosity values are in the correct units before conversion.
-
Use the tool for contexts involving very large viscosity magnitudes only.
-
Double-check very large output values to avoid misinterpretation.
-
Remember this tool is intended for specialized scientific or industrial applications.
-
Consider the non-SI nature of these units when communicating results.
Limitations
-
Exapoise and gigapoise are non-SI units and are very large multiples of the poise.
-
These units may not be suitable for typical everyday viscosity measurements.
-
Due to large scales, there is a risk of computational errors or misreading values.
-
The tool is designed for theoretical or specialized uses, not general purposes.

-
Gigapoise (GP)
-
A multiple of the poise in the CGS system measuring dynamic viscosity; equals 10^9 poise or 10^8 pascal-seconds.
-
Dynamic Viscosity
-
A measurement of shear stress required to cause a unit shear rate in a fluid.
