What does one newton per square meter represent?

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

Where is the ton-force (short)/sq. inch unit commonly used?

This unit is used mainly in US-based industries such as forging, stamping, and mechanical press operations to describe large localized pressures.

Can low pressure values cause issues in this conversion?

Yes, converting low pressures can yield very small decimal results, which may be prone to rounding errors.
