Limitations

Kilogram-force/sq. millimeter is a non-SI unit based on gravitational force which can vary locally.
Conversion assumes standard gravity at 9.80665 m/s², so actual values may shift slightly depending on geographic location.
Not recommended for extremely precise scientific work due to gravitational variation.
Older unit usage might lead to inconsistencies if not properly converted to pascal.
