What does kilogram-force per square meter measure?

It measures pressure or normal stress as the force applied uniformly over one square meter, using kilogram-force as the unit of force.

Where is inch mercury (32°F) commonly used?

It is commonly used in meteorology and aviation for atmospheric and altimeter pressure, as well as in HVAC, refrigeration vacuum systems, and automotive diagnostics.
