What does a newton per square millimeter measure?

It measures pressure or mechanical stress as one newton of force applied over one square millimeter.

When is millimeter water (4°C) used?

It is used for very small pressure measurements, such as in manometers, sensor calibration, or low-pressure fluid applications.

Why is the conversion factor so large?

Because 1 newton/square millimeter equals over 100,000 millimeters of water at 4°C, reflecting a large difference in pressure magnitudes.
