What is the pascal unit?

The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter.

Why convert pascal to kilogram-force per square millimeter?

To interpret pressure or stress values in terms commonly used in materials testing and certain engineering fields that use gravitational units.

Is kilogram-force per square millimeter an SI unit?

No, it is a non-SI gravitational unit commonly found in older technical literature and specific engineering applications.
