What does dyne second per square centimeter measure?

It is a CGS unit of dynamic viscosity equal to one poise, quantifying the shear stress needed to produce a unit shear rate in a fluid.

What is decipoise [dP] used for?

Decipoise is a CGS unit used to measure dynamic viscosity, especially useful in industrial contexts for lubricating and fuel oils and for food products like syrups and honey.

How do I convert from dyne second/sq. centimeter to decipoise?
