What does kilogram-force per square centimeter measure?

It measures pressure as the force exerted by one kilogram-force uniformly applied over an area of one square centimeter.

Where is inch mercury (32°F) commonly used?

It is frequently used in meteorology for atmospheric pressure, in aviation altimeter settings, and in HVAC and laboratory vacuum measurements.

Why might there be slight variations in the conversion?

Because kilogram-force/sq. cm is a non-SI unit and inch mercury is manometric, differences in standards and assumptions like gravity and temperature can cause small precision differences.
