What does one newton per square millimeter represent?

It is a pressure unit equal to the force of one newton applied over an area of one square millimeter, equivalent to 1 megapascal.

Why convert newton per square millimeter to centipascal?

Converting to centipascal allows expressing high mechanical pressures in much smaller units, useful for sensitive measurements and precise instrumentation calibration.

Can this conversion be used for intermediate pressure levels?

No, because of the large magnitude difference, intermediate values may require additional context or scaling.
