What is gram-force/sq. centimeter?

Gram-force per square centimeter is a non-SI pressure unit based on the force of one gram-force over one square centimeter, commonly used in older or industry-specific standards.

Why convert to ton-force (long)/square inch?

Ton-force (long)/square inch is a legacy British imperial pressure unit used in historic engineering documents and machinery specifications, making conversion necessary for interpreting older data.

Are these conversions precise?

Conversions use legacy gravitational units that can slightly vary with local gravity and are less standardized than SI units, so care is needed when accuracy is critical.
