Are dyne second/sq. centimeter and gram/centimeter/second different units?

No, both units represent the same cgs dynamic viscosity quantity and can be used interchangeably with a conversion rate of 1:1.

When should I use this conversion tool?

Use this tool when standardizing viscosity measurements reported in dyne second per square centimeter to gram per centimeter per second, especially in rheological and material studies.

Does this conversion relate to SI units?

While these cgs units are numerically equal, they differ from SI units which require separate conversion, such as to pascal-second.
