What does 1 gigapoise equal in hectopoise?

1 gigapoise equals 10,000,000 hectopoise according to the defined conversion rate.

When should I use gigapoise or hectopoise units?

Use these units for describing extremely high dynamic viscosities found in materials like bitumen, polymer melts, or geological substances.

Is this conversion suitable for regular fluid viscosity measurements?

No, it's mainly designed for very viscous fluids because typical fluids usually have much lower viscosity values, better represented by smaller units.
