What does 1 poise represent?

1 poise (P) is the CGS unit of dynamic viscosity, defined as 1 g·cm⁻1·s⁻1 and equal to 0.1 pascal-second (Pa·s), measuring a fluid's resistance to shear flow.

When should I use attopoise units?

Attopoise is used for expressing extremely small viscosities in molecular, nanoscale, or ultracold gas research where traditional units are too coarse.

How is the conversion between poise and attopoise calculated?

The conversion uses the factor that 1 poise equals 10¹⁸ attopoise, directly multiplying the poise value by this large number.
