What does petapoise measure?

Petapoise is a CGS-derived unit of dynamic viscosity representing an extremely large resistance to shear flow, useful in geophysics and rheology.

When should I use attopoise?

Attopoise is used for expressing extremely small dynamic viscosities encountered in molecular dynamics, nanofluidics, and ultracold gas experiments.

Is converting between petapoise and attopoise common?

Conversions are mostly theoretical or for scaling purposes due to the vast difference in magnitude and are uncommon in routine measurements.
