What does one newton per square centimeter represent?

It represents pressure exerted by a force of one newton spread evenly over one square centimeter, equivalent to 10,000 pascals.

When should I use nanopascal as a pressure unit?

Nanopascal is ideal for expressing extremely low pressures, such as those encountered in space physics or ultra-high vacuum systems.

Can this converter be used for general pressure conversions?

This converter is specialized for very low pressure conversions; using it for higher pressures may result in excessively large numbers that are impractical.
