What does one newton per square millimeter represent?

It represents a pressure equal to one newton applied across one square millimeter, exactly equal to 1 megapascal.

Why convert newton per square millimeter to ton-force (long)/square inch?

This conversion helps compare modern SI-based pressure values with historical imperial pressure units used in older engineering designs and machinery.

Is ton-force (long)/square inch commonly used today?

No, it is a legacy British Imperial unit and is less common in current standards that favor SI units.
