What does millinewton second per square meter measure?

It measures dynamic viscosity and represents a fluid’s internal resistance to shear flow, expressed in SI units.

Can this converter be used for high viscosity fluids?

Conversion accuracy may decrease for very high viscosities, as micropoise units are best suited for low-viscosity measurements.
