Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure your input values represent extremely high viscosity ranges appropriate for these units
-
Use this converter primarily for theoretical or specialized scientific applications
-
Cross-check converted values when using in critical modeling or experimental calculations

Only suited for extremely large viscosity values; not appropriate for common fluid viscosity measurements
-
Both exapoise and petapoise are non-SI or derived CGS units with specialized application
-
Precision can be affected due to the immense magnitudes involved in conversions
Frequently Asked Questions

They are primarily used in geophysics, astrophysics, rheology, and materials science for modeling very high viscosity scenarios.
Key Terminology
-
Exapoise (EP)
-
A non-SI metric multiple of poise measuring extremely high dynamic viscosity; 1 EP equals 10^18 poise.
-
Petapoise (PP)
-
A CGS-derived unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 10^15 poise, used to express large viscosities in peta-scale magnitudes.
-
Dynamic Viscosity
-
A measure of a fluid's resistance to shear flow, often expressed in poise or pascal-seconds.
