What does 1 micropoise represent?

1 micropoise (µP) equals 1×10⁻⁶ poise and is a CGS unit for dynamic viscosity representing very low fluid resistance to shear.

Why convert micropoise to millipoise?

To express very low dynamic viscosities at a finer scale suitable for laboratory analysis and to relate microfluidic or historical data to more common viscosity units.

Can this conversion account for temperature or pressure?

No, the conversion assumes a linear scale and does not adjust for temperature or pressure effects on viscosity.
