Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does femtopoise measure?
-
Femtopoise measures dynamic (shear) viscosity and is used to express extremely small viscosity values, often in molecular and nanoscale research.
-
Why convert femtopoise to nanopoise?
-
Converting to nanopoise provides a unit more compatible with nanofluidics studies and laboratory experiments where finer resolution of viscosity is needed.
-
Is this conversion useful for everyday viscosity measurements?
-
No, this conversion is mainly relevant for very low viscosity values in specialized scientific and engineering fields, not for general fluid viscosity.

Nanopoise [nP]
-
A submultiple of the poise, equal to 10⁻⁹ poise, used for measuring very small dynamic viscosity values in CGS units.
-
Dynamic (Shear) Viscosity
-
A physical property that describes a fluid's resistance to shear flow.
