What does 1 micropoise represent?

1 micropoise equals 1×10⁻⁶ poise and measures very low dynamic viscosity typically in gases or microfluidic applications.

How is a dekapoise related to the SI unit pascal-second?

One dekapoise equals 10 poise, which corresponds to 1 pascal-second, representing higher viscosity fluids.

Why convert from micropoise to dekapoise?

This conversion helps compare very low viscosity measurements to values appropriate for more viscous fluids like oils and polymers.
