Why use gram-force/sq. centimeter if it is not an SI unit?

Gram-force/sq. centimeter remains in use mainly for legacy data, older standards, and specific laboratory instrument calibrations based on gravitational force.

What does centimeter mercury (0°C) represent?

It is a pressure unit corresponding to the pressure exerted by a 1 cm column of mercury at 0 °C under standard gravitational acceleration.

Are there any environmental considerations when using this conversion?

Yes, since centimeter mercury (0°C) depends on temperature and gravity, deviation from standard conditions can influence accuracy.
