What is the relationship between poise and picopoise?

One poise equals one trillion (1,000,000,000,000) picopoise, reflecting the picopoise's status as a submultiple unit at extremely low viscosity scales.

Why convert from poise to picopoise in research?

Converting to picopoise allows high-precision reporting of very low dynamic viscosity values, essential in molecular simulations and microfluidic studies where poise units are too large.

Can picopoise units be used in everyday industrial applications?

Due to their very small scale and the requirement for highly sensitive instruments, picopoise units are rarely practical for general industrial or engineering purposes.
