What is Megapoise used for?

Megapoise is used to measure dynamic viscosity of very viscous materials such as pitch, heavy bitumen, and dense polymer formulations, especially in legacy CGS-based contexts.

Why convert Megapoise to pound-force second per square inch?

Converting from Megapoise to pound-force second/sq. inch facilitates compatibility with US customary measurement systems and helps interpret industrial or legacy data involving heavy oils or greases.

Is this conversion suitable for low viscosity fluids?

No, this conversion is intended for very viscous substances; applying it to low viscosity materials can result in impractically large values.
