What does one newton per square meter represent?

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

Why convert from newton per square meter to millipascal?

To express pressure values at much smaller magnitudes suitable for precision measurement and instrumentation.

Is this conversion suitable for high-pressure measurements?

No, millipascal units are better for very small pressures; larger units like kilopascals or megapascals fit high-pressure contexts.
