A terapoise is a metric multiple of the poise unit measuring dynamic viscosity, equal to 10^12 poise or 10^11 pascal-seconds, used to express extremely high viscosity values.

Why convert from terapoise to gram per centimeter per second?

Converting to gram/cm/s (poise) allows practical rheological analysis since gram/cm/s is a standard CGS unit commonly used in industrial and experimental settings.

Where is this conversion primarily applied?

It is mainly used in geophysics, planetary science, materials science near polymer solidification, tribology, mechanical design, and quality control of viscous consumer goods.

Is this converter suitable for everyday viscosity measurements?

No, terapoise handles extremely large viscosity values which rarely appear in everyday fluid studies or typical industrial measurements.
