What does 1 gram/centimeter/second represent in viscosity?

It represents the cgs unit of dynamic viscosity called the poise, quantifying internal fluid resistance to shear flow.

Why convert gram/centimeter/second to millipoise?

To express viscosity at a finer scale useful for analyzing low-viscosity fluids and improving precision in measurements.

Is millipoise suitable for all viscosity ranges?

No, millipoise is best for low to moderate viscosity fluids, not for very viscous materials.
