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

It is a CGS unit called poise, representing dynamic viscosity, equal to 0.1 pascal-second in SI units.

When should I use nanopoise units?

Nanopoise is suitable for very low viscosity measurements, such as in microfluidics, nanofluidics, and vacuum technology studies requiring precise resolution.

Is it practical to convert very large viscosity values to nanopoise?

No, because this results in extremely large numbers that may be unwieldy and difficult to interpret.
