What does micropoise (µP) measure?

Micropoise measures very low dynamic shear viscosity, representing the fluid's resistance to shear at a micro scale in cgs units.

Why convert micropoise to gram/centimeter/second?

Converting to gram/centimeter/second, a common cgs viscosity unit, allows for practical comparisons and better compatibility with industrial and research standards.

Can I use this conversion for high-viscosity fluids?

No, micropoise is suited for extremely low viscosities, and this conversion is not practical for fluids with high viscosity.
