What is the nanopoise unit used for?

Nanopoise is used to measure very small dynamic viscosity values, typically in microfluidics, nanofluidics, and gas-flow experiments.

Why would I convert nanopoise to gigapoise?

Converting to gigapoise helps compare extremely small viscosity values with very large ones, often in studies involving highly viscous materials or geological timescales.

Are the units nanopoise and gigapoise part of the SI system?

No, both nanopoise and gigapoise are units within the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system used for measuring dynamic viscosity.

Common Use Cases

Reporting very small fluid viscosities in gas-flow and vacuum experiments
Describing viscosity values in microfluidics or nanofluidics studies requiring fine resolution
Rheology analysis of very viscous materials like polymers or bitumen
Geophysical modeling of slow creep in rocks or ice over geological time
Converting and comparing viscosity data between CGS (poise) and SI (Pa·s) units

Tips & Best Practices

Always double-check the units before conversion to ensure accuracy
Be cautious of very small numerical results due to the difference in scale
Use the tool to facilitate comparisons across widely differing viscosity ranges
Consider the context of your application when interpreting converted values
Understand that gigapoise values represent extremely high viscosities

Limitations

The conversion factor of 10⁻¹⁸ results in extremely small converted values
Values may fall outside practical measurement resolution when converting from nP to GP
Care is needed to avoid misinterpretation or loss of significance in results
