What does micropoise measure?

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

Why convert micropoise to newton second per square meter?

Conversion allows compatibility with the SI unit system, useful for engineering calculations and standardizing viscosity data.

Are temperature and pressure effects considered in this conversion?

No, the conversion uses linear equivalence without adjusting for temperature or pressure influences on viscosity.
