Characterizing highly viscous glassy or cross-linked polymers near solidification in materials science.
Scaling rheological data between CGS (poise) and SI (pascal-second) units for theoretical or computational studies.

Tips & Best Practices

Enter values precisely since these units represent extremely large viscosities used primarily in specialized scientific fields.
Use the conversion factor of 0.001 to translate terapoise values directly into petapoise.
Apply this conversion for consistent unit scaling in geophysical and materials science research.

Limitations

The extremely large magnitude of terapoise and petapoise units means practical measurements rarely occur outside specialized theoretical or geophysical contexts.
Conversions require careful precision due to the vast scale differences but are suited mainly for modeling and computational use.
