What does kilogram-force/sq. cm represent?

It is a non-SI pressure unit representing the pressure from a force of one kilogram-force applied over one square centimeter.

What is the millipascal used for?

Millipascal is a small SI pressure unit used for precise measurements like microfluidics, acoustic pressures, and laboratory vacuum levels.

Why might conversion result in very large numbers?

Because kilogram-force/sq. cm is a much larger pressure unit compared to millipascal, converting results in numerically large values.
