What is a micropoise?

A micropoise (µP) is a cgs unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 1×10⁻⁶ poise, measuring a fluid's internal resistance to shear.

Why convert micropoise to pascal second?

Converting to pascal second translates low-range viscosity measurements from the cgs system to the SI system, aiding modern scientific use and equipment calibration.

Where is pascal second commonly used?

Pascal second is the SI unit used in mechanical design, lubrication assessment, fluid rheology, and chemical process engineering.
