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.

Where is newton per square millimeter commonly used?

This unit is widely used to specify tensile or yield strengths of metals, compressive strength of concrete, and hydraulic system pressures in engineering.

Can this converter be used for very high-pressure values?

Newton per square millimeter is typically used for higher pressures; mmHg may be too small and less precise for such applications.
