A terapoise is a metric multiple of the poise, used for measuring extremely large dynamic viscosities, equivalent to 10 to the 12 poise or 10 to the 11 pascal-seconds.

When should I use hectopoise instead of terapoise?

Hectopoise is preferred for high, but not ultra-extreme, viscosities typically encountered in laboratory measurements and engineering applications.

How does this converter help in rheology studies?

It facilitates converting viscosity data from theoretical or geophysical scales (terapoise) to more practical units (hectopoise) used in rheology and fluid mechanics.
