What does hectopoise measure?

Hectopoise (hP) measures dynamic viscosity representing very high viscosity fluids, commonly used in industrial and laboratory contexts.

When should I convert from hectopoise to millipoise?

Converting from hectopoise to millipoise is useful when translating high viscosity data into finer scaled units suitable for low-viscosity fluid analysis or lab comparisons.

Are there challenges with converting between hectopoise and millipoise?

Yes, due to the large numerical differences between high and low viscosity units, conversions can involve very large values requiring careful unit management and attention to instrument precision.

Key Terminology

Hectopoise (hP): A metric multiple of the poise used to measure very high dynamic viscosity; 1 hP equals 100 poise or 10 pascal-seconds.
Millipoise (mP): A CGS-derived unit of dynamic viscosity equal to one-thousandth of a poise, used to quantify low-viscosity fluids.
Dynamic Viscosity: A measure of a fluid's resistance to shear flow, indicating how thick or sticky the fluid is.
