What is a terapose (TP)?

A terapose is a large viscosity unit equal to 10^12 poise or 10^11 pascal-seconds, used to express very high dynamic viscosity values in certain scientific fields.

How many gigapoise (GP) are in one terapose (TP)?

One terapose equals 1000 gigapoise according to their defined conversion rate.

In what fields is this conversion commonly used?

It is frequently applied in geophysics for mantle viscosity, materials science for viscous polymers and glass, and industrial rheology involving thick fluids like bitumen.
