What is the exapoise unit used for?

Exapoise is a large CGS-derived metric unit of dynamic viscosity used mainly to express very high viscosities and convert between CGS poise and SI pascal-second units in theoretical or specialized contexts.

Why convert exapoise to kilogram-force second per square meter?

Converting from exapoise to kilogram-force second per square meter helps interpret large dynamic viscosity values in non-SI force-based units commonly found in older engineering literature or legacy equipment standards.

Is kilogram-force second per square meter commonly used today?

No, kilogram-force second per square meter is a non-SI unit that is less common in modern practice but remains useful for interpreting legacy data and certain engineering systems designed with non-SI force units.
