What does kilogram-force per square millimeter measure?

It measures pressure or stress as one kilogram-force applied over one square millimeter. This unit is often used in engineering and materials testing.

Why convert kilogram-force/sq. millimeter to millibar?

Converting allows expressing high mechanical pressures in units common to atmospheric pressure, useful in bridging engineering and meteorological data.

Is kilogram-force/sq. millimeter an SI unit?

No, it is a non-SI gravitational unit, which can lead to inconsistencies in strictly SI-based scientific contexts.
