What is a newton per square meter?

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

What does psi stand for?

Psi means pound per square inch, a pressure unit in the Imperial/US customary system representing force per square inch.

Why convert pressure from newton/square meter to psi?

Converting allows interpreting data in different unit systems, important when dealing with automotive, hydraulic, or household equipment using psi.
