What is a newton per square millimeter?

It is a pressure unit representing one newton of force spread over one square millimeter of area, equal to 1 megapascals.

How does the bar unit relate to atmospheric pressure?

The bar is slightly less than standard atmospheric pressure, with one atmosphere equaling approximately 1.01325 bar.

Why convert from newton/square millimeter to bar?

Converting allows expressing pressure values in a unit commonly used in industrial, meteorological, and engineering applications for clearer communication.
