What is millimeter mercury (0°C) used for?

It is commonly used in clinical blood pressure readings, laboratory manometry, and measuring moderate vacuum or barometric pressures in engineering.

Why convert to dyne per square centimeter?

Dyne per square centimeter is used to express small pressures in CGS physics, support legacy scientific literature, and compare historical data in specialized research.

Is this conversion exact for all conditions?

No, millimeter mercury depends on temperature and gravity assumptions, and dyne/cm² is primarily used in CGS contexts rather than modern SI systems.
