What is millipoise used for?

Millipoise is used to measure dynamic viscosity of low-viscosity fluids at a finer scale than other units like poise or centipoise.

How does gram per centimeter per second relate to poise?

Gram per centimeter per second is equivalent to one poise, representing a CGS unit of dynamic shear viscosity.

Why convert millipoise to gram per centimeter per second?

Converting helps relate fine-scale viscosity measurements to the standard CGS poise unit common in various industrial and scientific fields.
