What kind of pressures can I convert using this tool?

The tool is designed for converting very low pressures measured in microbar, commonly found in vacuum, atmospheric, or acoustic applications.

Why is kilogram-force per square millimeter used in engineering?

It is a gravitational metric unit often employed in materials testing and mechanical engineering to express stresses like tensile strength or bearing pressure.

Is this conversion compatible with standard SI units?

Since kilogram-force per square millimeter is a non-SI unit, caution is advised when integrating results with SI measurements.
