What does megapoise measure?

Megapoise measures dynamic (shear) viscosity, representing very high fluid resistance to shear flow, primarily used for very viscous substances or legacy CGS data.

Why convert from megapoise to picopoise?

Converting from megapoise to picopoise helps compare extremely large viscosity values with ultra-low viscosity scales, important in research and precise industrial applications.

Are megapoise and picopoise SI units?

No, both megapoise and picopoise are CGS-derived units; megapoise equals 10⁵ pascal-seconds, and picopoise corresponds to an extremely small fraction of a pascal-second.
