What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms dynamic viscosity measurements from terapose (TP), a unit for extremely large viscosities, to nanopoise (nP), a unit for very small viscosities. It serves various scientific and engineering fields requiring conversions across wide viscosity ranges.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the viscosity value in terapose (TP).
-
Select terapose as the input unit and nanopoise as the output unit.
-
Click convert to get the equivalent nanopoise (nP) value.
Key Features
-

Key Terminology
-
Terapoise [TP]
-
A metric multiple of the poise used to measure very large dynamic viscosity; 1 TP = 10^12 poise.
-
Nanopoise [nP]
-
A submultiple of the poise used to measure very small dynamic viscosity; 1 nP = 10⁻⁹ poise.
-
Dynamic Viscosity
-
A measure of a fluid's internal resistance to shear flow.
