What is a dyne second per square centimeter?

It is the cgs unit of dynamic viscosity identical to one poise, measuring the shear stress needed to produce a unit shear rate in a fluid.

Why convert dyne second/sq. centimeter to picopoise?

Converting allows precise characterization of fluids with extremely low viscosity, important in nanoscale and molecular dynamics contexts.

Are picopoise commonly used for everyday viscosity measurements?

No, picopoise is mainly relevant for very low viscosity fluids at micro or nanoscale and not typically used for bulk materials.
