What does 1 picopoise equal in poise?

1 picopoise equals 1 × 10⁻¹² poise, indicating it is a very small fraction of the poise unit.

When should I use picopoise instead of poise?

Picopoise is used mainly for extremely low viscosity measurements at the micro or nanoscale and in high-precision research settings.

Why might converted values be hard to read?

Because of the tiny conversion factor, poise values from picopoise can be very small decimal numbers, requiring high-precision numerical handling.
