What does 1 newton per square millimeter represent?

It represents a pressure unit equivalent to one newton of force applied over one square millimeter, exactly equal to 1 megapascal.

Where is ton-force (short)/sq. foot commonly used?

It is typically used in industries like civil engineering and heavy machinery for specifying load pressures and bearing limits.

Can this conversion tool be used for scientific calculations?

While useful for many engineering applications, the ton-force (short)/sq. foot is a non-SI unit, so it may not be appropriate for scientific calculations requiring SI units.
