What is newton per square centimeter used for?

It is used to express stress or pressure in materials testing and mechanical engineering, particularly for small specimens and compact hydraulic or pneumatic components.

Where is kilogram-force per square centimeter commonly applied?

It is often used in older or regional engineering documentation, pressure gauges, pumps, compressors, and technical manuals involving legacy units.

Why convert between these two units?

Converting helps translate pressure data from SI-derived units to legacy or regionally preferred units for easier interpretation across different documentation and equipment standards.
