What does one newton per square centimeter represent?

It represents the pressure of one newton force applied uniformly over an area of one square centimeter, equivalent to 10,000 pascals.

Why convert newton/square centimeter to kgf/sq. millimeter?

This conversion helps translate metric pressure units into gravitational metric units commonly found in older engineering literature and mechanical stress analysis.

Are these units standard SI units?

No, both newton/square centimeter and kilogram-force per square millimeter are non-SI derived units used in specific contexts.
