What is the conversion factor between millipoise and poise?

1 millipoise (mP) is equal to 0.001 poise (P).

When should I use millipoise instead of poise?

Millipoise is preferred for measuring very low viscosity fluids to provide finer resolution than poise.

Can this tool convert from poise back to millipoise?

No, this tool specifically converts from millipoise to poise. Reverse conversion is not supported here.
