Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a femtopoise (fP)?
-
Femtopoise (fP) is a unit of dynamic viscosity representing very small values, defined as 10^-15 poise or 1×10^-16 pascal-second, used primarily in nanoscale and precision rheology applications.
-
What does newton second per square meter measure?
-
Newton second per square meter (N·s/m²) is the SI unit of dynamic viscosity, quantifying a fluid's internal resistance to shear and equivalent to one pascal-second.
-
Why convert femtopoise to newton second per square meter?
-
Converting femtopoise to the SI unit newton second per square meter allows expression of tiny viscosity measurements in standard units compatible with scientific instruments and fluid dynamics calculations.
