Tips & Best Practices

Ensure correct unit selection to maintain accurate conversions between GP and P.
Use this conversion to translate extremely large viscosity values into more conventional units.
Be cautious of potential numerical precision issues when working with very large numbers.

Limitations

Gigapoise units represent extraordinarily high viscosity values rarely used in typical fluid measurements.
Numerical precision and scaling must be handled carefully to avoid errors.
Conversion is specific to dynamic viscosity in the CGS system and not applicable to other types.
