What does millimeter mercury (0°C) measure?

It is a pressure unit defined by the pressure exerted by a one millimeter column of mercury at zero degrees Celsius under standard gravity.

Why convert mmHg to kilogram-force/sq. cm?

Conversion is useful for translating pressure readings into units used in engineering documentation, hydraulic systems, and legacy industrial equipment specifications.

Is kilogram-force per square centimeter an SI unit?

No, it is a non-SI unit and may be considered deprecated in some modern technical standards.
