What is dyne per square centimeter used for?

Dyne per square centimeter is mainly used to express small pressures or mechanical stresses in CGS system physics and legacy scientific contexts.

Why is the inch mercury unit referenced at 60°F?

The temperature of 60°F fixes mercury density for consistent calibration, ensuring reliable pressure measurements in atmospheric and laboratory settings.

Can I use this converter for high pressure values?

This converter is best suited for small pressure values due to the scale of dyne per square centimeter and may produce very small decimal results for high pressures.
