What is newton/square centimeter used for?

It is a metric pressure unit used to express stress or pressure in small samples in materials testing and mechanical engineering, often related to centimeter-scale areas.

Why convert to ton-force (long)/square foot?

This unit is used in imperial-based engineering contexts such as shipbuilding or heavy industry, especially for historical or legacy data involving large-scale pressure or load capacities.

Is the ton-force (long)/square foot unit exact in pascals?

No, it is approximately equal to 107,252 pascals, so the conversion offers a close estimate but may lack the precision of SI base units.
