What is the relationship between poise and gram/centimeter/second?

One poise equals one gram per centimeter per second, meaning they are directly equivalent units measuring dynamic viscosity.

In which fields is this conversion commonly used?

This conversion is frequently applied in tribology, engine design, polymer processing, laboratory rheology, and quality control of viscous consumer products.

Why should I be careful about centipoise during conversions?

Centipoise differs from poise by a factor of 100 (1 cP = 0.01 P), so mixing these can lead to incorrect viscosity values.
