What does one newton per square millimeter represent?

It represents pressure equal to one newton of force applied over an area of one square millimeter and is exactly equal to 1 megapascal.

Where is foot water (60°F) commonly used?

It is used for low-pressure measurements in systems like HVAC, laboratory manometers, and fluid regulators, representing pressure from a one-foot column of water at 60°F.

Can this conversion be used for fluids other than water?

This specific unit is based on pure water at 60°F; using it for other fluids or temperatures may lead to inaccuracies.
