What is the relation between poise and millipoise?

One poise equals 1000 millipoise, allowing finer viscosity expression at smaller scales.

When should I use millipoise instead of poise?

Millipoise is preferable for low-viscosity fluids where detecting small changes precisely is important.

Can I use this conversion for highly viscous liquids?

It is not recommended because millipoise values can become very large and less practical for high viscosities.
