What is a petapoise (PP)?

Petapoise is a CGS-derived unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 10^15 poise or 1×10^14 pascal-seconds, used to express extremely large viscosities.

Where is pound/foot/hour used as a viscosity unit?

This imperial unit is commonly applied in lubricant engineering, industrial processes, and mechanical engineering involving fluid flow in regions using customary units.

Why are petapoise to pound/foot/hour conversions resulting in huge numbers?

Since petapoise represents extremely large viscosities, converting to the smaller unit of pound/foot/hour naturally yields very large numerical values.
