What is the definition of millipoise?

Millipoise (mP) is a CGS-derived unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 0.001 poise; in SI units, it equals 1.0 × 10⁻⁴ pascal-second and is used for measuring low-viscosity fluids with fine resolution.

When is gigapoise used?

Gigapoise (GP) measures dynamic viscosity for extremely viscous materials like cured polymers, bitumen, or geological substances, representing very large shear viscosity values.

How are millipoise and gigapoise related in conversion?

1 millipoise equals 1×10⁻¹² gigapoise, indicating a very large magnitude difference between the two units.
