What does millimeter mercury (0°C) represent?

It is a pressure unit defined as the pressure exerted by a 1 mm column of mercury at 0°C under standard gravity.

Why use gram-force/sq. centimeter instead of SI units?

Gram-force/sq. centimeter is used in legacy calibration, testing, and engineering documents that rely on gravitational force-based units.

Is the conversion affected by local gravity variations?

Yes, legacy unit accuracy may vary with local gravity differences and calibration standards.
