What is kilogram-force per square millimeter?

It is a non-SI gravitational unit of pressure defined as one kilogram-force applied to an area of one square millimeter.

What does inch mercury (60°F) measure?

It measures pressure based on the hydrostatic pressure exerted by a one-inch column of mercury at 60°F, commonly used in meteorology and aviation.

Why convert kilogram-force/sq. millimeter to inch mercury (60°F)?

To translate mechanical pressure values into units used for atmospheric, vacuum, and instrumentation pressure measurements.
