What is a megapoise (MP)?

Megapoise (MP) is a CGS-derived unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 10^6 poise, used to measure resistance to shear flow in very viscous fluids.

Why convert from megapoise to poundal second per square foot?

Converting between these units allows translation of high-viscosity fluid data from legacy CGS units to imperial FPS units often used in engineering.

Can I use this conversion for all viscosity measurements?

This conversion is mainly relevant for extremely high viscosity fluids and legacy data; it is not commonly used for typical modern viscosity measurements.
