What does petapoise measure?

Petapoise is a CGS-derived unit of dynamic viscosity used to express very large viscosity values, particularly in geophysics and solid-creep models.

Why convert from petapoise to picopoise?

This conversion helps compare and relate extremely large viscosities with extremely low viscosities within the same CGS unit system for multi-scale analysis.

Are these units used in practical measurements?

These units mainly apply in theoretical, computational, or simulated contexts due to the extreme scales involved.
