What is gram per centimeter per second used for?

It is a cgs unit for dynamic viscosity measuring a fluid’s resistance to shear flow, commonly applied in characterizing lubricants, polymer melts, and food products.

Why convert gram/centimeter/second to pascal second?

Converting to pascal second standardizes viscosity measurements to SI units, enabling consistent use in engineering, scientific research, and quality control.

Does temperature affect this viscosity conversion?

Yes, viscosity changes with temperature, so the conversion assumes standard conditions for accurate equivalence.
