What Is This Tool?
This converter helps translate dynamic viscosity values between exapoise and terapoise units, both of which measure extremely high viscosities. It aids in converting between these large metric multiples of the poise to support scientific and theoretical applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the viscosity value in exapoise (EP) into the input field
-
Select the target unit as terapoise (TP)
-
Click the convert button to get the corresponding value in terapoise
-
Review the result displayed for your calculations or analysis
Key Features

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the input values represent appropriately large viscosity ranges suitable for exapoise and terapoise units
-
Use the converter to assist in theoretical or specialized scientific contexts
-
Double-check units especially when working across CGS and SI viscosity scales
-
Be mindful of the limited practical usage of these non-SI units in everyday measurements
Limitations
-
Exapoise and terapoise are non-SI units and used mainly in specialized scientific fields
-
Both units represent extremely large viscosities limiting general practical applicability
-
Measurements in these units are typically theoretical or for specific scientific modeling
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the relationship between exapoise and terapoise?
-
1 exapoise (EP) equals 1,000,000 terapoise (TP), converting from a higher to a slightly smaller viscosity scale.
-
In which fields are exapoise and terapoise measurements commonly used?
-
These units are commonly used in geophysics, planetary science, materials science, and astrophysical modeling for very large viscosity values.
-
Are exapoise and terapoise SI units?
-
No, both exapoise and terapoise are non-SI units and are rarely used outside specialized scientific contexts.
Key Terminology
-
Exapoise [EP]
-
A very large metric multiple of the poise used to measure dynamic viscosity; equal to 10^18 poise or 10^17 pascal-seconds.
-
Terapoise [TP]
-
A large metric multiple of the poise equal to 10^12 poise or 10^11 pascal-seconds, used for extremely high viscosity measurements.
-
Dynamic Viscosity
-
A measure of a fluid's internal resistance to shear flow, quantified by units such as poise, exapoise, or terapoise.
