What does nanopoise measure?

Nanopoise is a very small CGS unit of dynamic viscosity used to quantify tiny viscosity values, especially in microfluidics and vacuum experiments.

Why convert from nanopoise to dekapoise?

Converting to dekapoise helps express very small viscosity measurements in a larger, more practical unit compatible with standard engineering and rheology applications.

Where is the dekapoise unit commonly applied?

Dekapoise is used in rheology and fluid mechanics to report viscosities of relatively viscous fluids like heavy oils and polymer melts.
