What is millipoise used for?

Millipoise is used to measure dynamic viscosity of low-viscosity fluids such as water, solvents, and printing inks with fine resolution below centipoise.

What does dyne second per square centimeter represent?

It is a cgs unit of dynamic viscosity equivalent to one poise, used to quantify shear stress required to produce unit shear rate in fluids.

Why convert millipoise to dyne second/sq. centimeter?

Conversion helps translate fine-scale viscosity measurements into standard cgs units used in laboratories and engineering for compatibility and data comparison.
