What does one newton second per square meter represent?

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

Why use millipoise instead of poise for viscosity measurement?

Millipoise provides finer resolution for low-viscosity fluids, allowing more precise measurement in laboratory and quality control contexts.

Can I use this conversion for very high viscosity fluids?

It is recommended to use other units or measurement methods for very high viscosities because millipoise is best suited for lower viscosity ranges.
