What does one gram per centimeter per second represent in viscosity?

It is the cgs unit of dynamic viscosity equal to one poise, describing a fluid's internal resistance to shear flow.

Why convert to micropoise units?

Micropoise allows measuring very low viscosities with fine sensitivity, useful for gases and micro-scale lubrication studies.

Can this conversion be used for high viscosity fluids?

Using micropoise for very high viscosity values is generally impractical and should be done with caution.
