What does millinewton second per square meter measure?

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

What is the hectopoise unit used for?

Hectopoise measures dynamic viscosity at a larger scale, typically for very viscous fluids like bitumen and polymer melts.

Why do conversions result in very small decimal numbers?

Because millinewton second/sq. meter and hectopoise differ greatly in magnitude, conversions from the smaller unit produce small decimal values.
