What does 1 dyne/square centimeter represent?

It is a CGS unit of pressure equivalent to one dyne of force over one square centimeter, also known as a barye.

What is a ton-force (short)/square inch?

It is an industrial pressure unit equal to one short ton-force applied over one square inch, roughly equivalent to 2,000 psi.

When should I use this converter?

Use it when you need to convert very small scientific pressure values into large industrial pressure units for engineering or manufacturing purposes.
