What does gram-force per square centimeter measure?

It measures pressure as a force of one gram-force applied over an area of one square centimeter, based on gravitational force and is a non-SI unit.

Why convert gram-force/sq. centimeter to millipascal?

To translate legacy gravitational force–based pressure readings into precise, very small SI units suitable for modern calibration and scientific measurements.

Can this tool be used for modern SI unit pressure measurements?

This tool focuses on converting legacy non-SI units to millipascal; for typical SI units directly, other converters may be preferable.
