What does dyne second/sq. centimeter measure?

It measures dynamic (absolute) viscosity and is equivalent to one poise in the CGS system, representing shear stress per unit shear rate.

When should I use nanopoise for viscosity?

Nanopoise is suitable for expressing very small viscosity values, such as those encountered in microfluidics, nanotechnology, or vacuum experiments.

How is the conversion between dyne second/sq. centimeter and nanopoise derived?

One dyne second/sq. centimeter equals one poise, and since one nanopoise is 10⁻⁹ of a poise, the conversion multiplies by 1,000,000,000.
