Why is kilogram-force/sq. millimeter considered a non-SI unit?

Because it is based on gravitational force instead of the International System of Units, it is considered a non-SI gravitational unit of pressure.

What is centimeter mercury (0°C) used for?

It is used to measure pressure in laboratory manometers and barometers, as well as in pressure sensor calibration.

Can this conversion be used in materials testing?

Yes, it helps relate stress measurements in metals and alloys to standard pressure units important for engineering analysis.
