What does megapoise (MP) measure?

Megapoise is a CGS-derived unit of dynamic viscosity measuring a fluid’s resistance to shear flow, mainly used for very large viscosity values.

Why convert megapoise to millinewton second per square meter?

Converting to millinewton second per square meter provides a smaller, SI-based unit that is easier to compare and analyze with measurements of low-viscosity fluids.

Is megapoise suitable for low-viscosity fluids?

No, megapoise is rarely used for low-viscosity fluids due to its large scale; millinewton second per square meter is better suited in such cases.
