What is the kilopoise unit used for?

Kilopoise measures dynamic viscosity mainly for very high-viscosity fluids such as heavy crude oils, bitumen, and polymer melts.

Why use exapoise instead of more common units?

Exapoise is used to express extremely high viscosities or for conversions between CGS and SI systems when dealing with very large values.

Is the exapoise unit part of the SI system?

No, the exapoise is a non-SI unit and is considered very large and uncommon outside specialized fields.

What Is This Tool?

This tool allows you to convert dynamic viscosity measurements from kilopoise to exapoise. Kilopoise and exapoise are units used to quantify dynamic (absolute) viscosity, describing a fluid’s resistance to shear. The tool supports conversions between these vastly different scales, useful in specialized scientific and engineering contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in kilopoise (kP) you want to convert
Select kilopoise as the input unit and exapoise as the output unit
Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in exapoise (EP)
Use the result for theoretical calculations or high-viscosity fluid analysis

Key Features

Converts viscosity values from kilopoise (kP) to exapoise (EP)
Based on the precise conversion rate between the two units
Supports understanding of non-SI units used for very high viscosities
Ideal for rheology, geophysics, and materials science applications
Online, easy to use and accessible through any web browser

Examples

Convert 10 kP to exapoise: 10 kP = 1e-14 EP

Common Use Cases

Reporting very high viscosities of heavy crude oils, bitumen, and tar
Characterizing polymer melts and concentrated suspensions in material processing
Lab measurements on the CGS scale for fluids with high viscosity
Converting very large viscosity values between CGS poise and SI pascal-second units
Estimating orders of magnitude in geophysical or astrophysical viscosity models

Tips & Best Practices

Use this converter mainly for theoretical or specialized scientific contexts
Be aware of the large magnitude difference causing very small output values
Apply conversions carefully when comparing measurements between CGS and SI systems
Double-check unit selections to ensure accuracy of results

Limitations

Conversion results yield extremely small numbers due to magnitude differences
Exapoise is a very large, non-SI unit rarely used in everyday applications
Conversions are not typically meaningful for general viscosity measurements
Should be applied mainly within relevant scientific or modeling frameworks
