What does 1 inch mercury (32°F) represent in pressure terms?

It represents the pressure exerted by a one-inch column of mercury at 32°F under standard gravity.

Why convert inch mercury (32°F) to gram-force per square centimeter?

To express pressure in gravitational force-based units commonly used in legacy calibration, material testing, and older technical standards.

Are these units part of the SI system?

No, both inch mercury (32°F) and gram-force per square centimeter are non-SI units used primarily in specialized or legacy contexts.
