What does one newton/square centimeter represent?

It represents pressure equal to one newton applied uniformly over one square centimeter, equivalent to 10,000 pascals.

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

To interpret or work with historic British engineering standards and industrial documents that use legacy Imperial pressure units.

Is ton-force (long)/square inch a standard modern unit?

No, it is a legacy unit primarily used in historical or older industrial contexts and is not part of the SI system.
