What units does this tool convert between?

This tool converts pressure values from dyne per square centimeter, a CGS unit, to millipascal, an SI-derived unit.

Can this converter be used for high-pressure measurements?

This converter is primarily intended for small pressure values typical in microfluidics, acoustic measurements, and vacuum technology, not high-pressure applications.
