What is a terapoise used for?

A terapoise is used to express extremely large dynamic viscosity values, especially in fields like geophysics, planetary science, and materials science.

Why convert terapoise to pound/foot/second?

Conversion is useful for applying large viscosity measurements in engineering and laboratory contexts where imperial units are standard, such as US-based industrial applications.

Are the converted values precise?

The conversion uses a defined factor, but the extremely large numbers require careful handling to avoid rounding errors in precise calculations.
