What does millinewton second per square meter measure?

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

Why would I convert millinewton second/sq. meter to kilopoise?

To translate low-viscosity measurements into high-viscosity units suitable for analyzing dense fluids like heavy oils and polymers.

Is kilopoise an SI unit?

No, kilopoise is a non-SI unit used mainly in specialized fields for measuring very high viscosities.
