What does micropoise [µP] measure?

Micropoise [µP] is a unit of dynamic viscosity representing fluid internal resistance to shear in cgs units, equal to 1×10⁻⁶ poise or 1×10⁻⁷ pascal-second.

Why convert micropoise to millinewton second/sq. meter?

Converting micropoise to millinewton second/sq. meter helps translate low-range viscosity measurements into widely used SI units for easier comparison and analysis.

Is this conversion suitable for high viscosity fluids?

No, micropoise measures extremely low viscosities and may not be practical for fluids with higher viscosity levels.
