What is a terapoise (TP)?

A terapoise is a metric multiple of the poise used to measure very large dynamic viscosities, equal to 10^12 poise or 10^11 pascal-seconds.

Why convert terapoise to poundal second per square foot?

Converting to poundal second per square foot enables interpretations and calculations in imperial or FPS units used in engineering, lubrication, and historical data analysis.

Is this conversion suitable for everyday fluids?

This conversion mainly applies to very high viscosity values such as those in geophysics or materials science, and may not be practical for common fluids with lower viscosity.
