What does the newton second per square meter measure?

It is the SI unit for dynamic viscosity that quantifies a fluid's resistance to shear, equal to one pascal-second.

When should I use terapoise for viscosity?

Terapoise is ideal for expressing extremely large viscosities encountered in materials science and geophysics where typical SI units become cumbersome.

How are newton second per square meter and terapoise related?

One newton second per square meter equals 1e-11 terapoise, facilitating conversion to a unit suitable for very large viscosity values.

Click the convert button to obtain the viscosity in terapoise units.

Key Features

Converts dynamic viscosity from newton second per square meter to terapoise accurately.
Supports viscosity measurements relevant to high viscosity materials and geological substances.
Browser-based tool requiring no installation.
Quick and intuitive user interface for easy viscosity unit conversion.

Examples

Convert 5 N·s/m²: resulting in 5 × 1e-11 TP = 5e-11 TP.
Convert 2 × 10^10 N·s/m²: resulting in 0.2 TP after conversion.

Common Use Cases

Expressing very large viscosities in geophysics and planetary science for mantle or lithosphere comparisons.
Characterizing highly viscous glassy or cross-linked polymers near solidification in materials science.
Reporting large-scale rheological values where use of 10^11 Pa·s scaling simplifies the analysis.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this conversion primarily for materials with extremely high viscosity to ensure meaningful results.
Verify units carefully to avoid confusion between SI units and CGS-based units like poise.
Consider the context of your measurements, as terapoise units suit very large viscosity scales.

Limitations

Conversion yields very small terapoise values for most common fluids, limiting practical use to extremely viscous materials.
Not suitable for typical laboratory or engineering viscosities due to the large scale of terapoise.
Precision and accuracy depend on the scale of input values; extremely low terapoise may be less informative.
