What does one newton second per square meter represent?

It is the SI unit of dynamic viscosity that quantifies a fluid's resistance to shear, equivalent to one pascal-second.

Why use centipoise instead of newton second per square meter?

Centipoise is widely used in labs and industrial settings due to its convenient scale for common liquids like blood and inks.

Can I convert viscosity values at different temperatures directly with this tool?

No. Since viscosity depends on temperature, values must be under consistent temperature conditions for accurate conversion.
