What is the conversion rate from gigapoise to kilopoise?

One gigapoise (GP) equals 1,000,000 kilopoise (kP).

In which fields is converting from GP to kP commonly used?

This conversion is often used in polymer processing, bitumen rheology, geophysics, and laboratory measurements of highly viscous materials.

Can I use this conversion for low viscosity fluids?

No, the gigapoise unit represents extremely high viscosities, so this conversion is not applicable for low or moderate viscosity fluids.
