What does petapoise measure?

Petapoise measures dynamic viscosity and quantifies fluid resistance to shear flow at extremely large scales.

Why use femtopoise units?

Femtopoise units express extremely small viscosity values common in nanoscale and rarefied gas studies.

Is this conversion useful for practical measurements?

The conversion is mainly for theoretical and scaling work because practical instruments often cannot measure across such extreme viscosity ranges directly.
