What does millinewton second per square meter measure?

It measures dynamic viscosity, representing a fluid's internal resistance to shear flow, commonly used for low-viscosity liquids.

What is a dekapoise [daP] unit?

Dekapoise is a cgs-derived unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 10 poise or 1 pascal-second in SI units, often used for more viscous fluids.

Why would I convert millinewton second per square meter to dekapoise?

Converting between these units helps compare viscosities of low-viscosity fluids to those of heavier oils, and supports calibration across different measurement systems.
