What units does this converter convert from and to?

It converts dynamic viscosity values from millipoise (mP), a CGS-derived unit, to newton second per square meter (N·s/m²), the SI unit of viscosity.

Why is millipoise used instead of poise or centipoise?

Millipoise provides finer resolution for low-viscosity fluids, making it useful for precise laboratory and engineering measurements where small differences matter.

Can this converter be used for highly viscous fluids?

Millipoise is generally not practical for highly viscous materials; it is designed for low-viscosity fluids.
