What is a megapoise (MP)?

Megapoise (MP) is a CGS-derived unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 10^6 poise, commonly used to measure a fluid's resistance to shear flow in applications involving very large viscosities.

When should I use petapoise (PP) units?

Petapoise units are appropriate for expressing extremely large viscosities, notably in geophysics, planetary science, and rheology studies involving ultra-slow fluid flows or theoretical scaling.

What is the conversion rate from megapoise to petapoise?

1 megapoise (MP) equals 1 × 10⁻⁹ petapoise (PP), reflecting the large difference in scale between these CGS-derived units.
