What does nanopoise measure?

Nanopoise measures dynamic viscosity at very small scales, useful for gas-flow, vacuum experiments, and microfluidics.

How is decipoise related to poise?

Decipoise is one tenth of a poise and measures fluid resistance to shear flow.

Why convert nanopoise to decipoise?

Converting helps translate very small viscosity values into more commonly referenced units for easier comparison and reporting.
