What is newton per square centimeter used for?

It is used to express pressure or stress in mechanical engineering and materials testing, especially on small scale specimens measured in square centimeters.

Why convert from newton/square centimeter to psi?

Converting allows pressure values from the metric system to be understood and applied in regions or industries where psi is the standard unit.

Can I rely on the conversion for industrial applications?

Yes, but be cautious of potential rounding and differences in unit measurement standards that might affect extremely precise needs.
