What does millimeter mercury (0°C) represent?

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

When should I use kilogram-force per square millimeter?

This unit is often used when reporting material tensile strength, yield strength, or mechanical bearing stresses in engineering.

Are there any factors affecting the accuracy of this conversion?

Yes, variations in temperature and local gravity can affect the precision of millimeter mercury measurements, and kilogram-force per square millimeter is a non-SI unit.
