What does dyne second per square centimeter measure?

It is a cgs unit of dynamic viscosity, identical to one poise, representing the shear stress required to generate a unit shear rate in a fluid.

Why convert dyne second/sq. centimeter to millinewton second/sq. meter?

Conversion is needed to express viscosity values in SI units, enabling standardized data reporting and comparison across different industries and scientific disciplines.

Is this conversion affected by temperature?

Yes, because viscosity depends on temperature, the conversion assumes standard temperature conditions for accuracy.
