What does one newton per square meter represent?

It is the SI unit of pressure equal to one pascal, indicating force per unit area applied perpendicular to a surface.

Why convert to decipascal?

Decipascal allows measurement of very low pressure values with finer resolution, useful in acoustics and sensor calibration.

Is this tool suitable for high pressure measurements?

No, it is ideal only for low pressure ranges since high pressures produce large numbers when converted to decipascal.
