The exapoise is a non-SI, very large unit rarely used in routine viscosity measurements
-
Conversions may be less practical for common fluid viscosity values due to large magnitude differences
-
Use is mainly confined to specialized scientific, engineering, and theoretical applications
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does millinewton second per square meter measure?
-
It measures dynamic viscosity, quantifying a fluid’s resistance to shear flow in units equivalent to 1×10⁻³ pascal-seconds.
-
Why use exapoise [EP] for viscosity measurements?
-
Exapoise is suited for expressing extremely high viscosities or converting between CGS and SI systems by scaling large viscosity values.
-
Is the exapoise a standard SI unit?
-
No, exapoise is a non-SI unit mainly used in theoretical or specialized high-viscosity contexts.
