What does the unit micropoise measure?

Micropoise is a cgs unit of dynamic viscosity representing a fluid's resistance to shear, equal to 1×10⁻⁶ poise.

Why convert micropoise to pound/foot/second?

Conversion is useful for engineering and industrial applications in the US where imperial units are standard.

Is this conversion tool suitable for high viscosity fluids?

The tool specializes in very low viscosity values typical for micropoise and may not suit high viscosity ranges.
