What does 1 torr represent in pressure units?

1 torr is a unit of pressure equal to 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, approximately 133.322368 pascals.

When should I use newton per square centimeter instead of torr?

Newton per square centimeter is used to express stresses or pressures in mechanical and materials testing, especially where area measurements use centimeters.

Is the newton/square centimeter an SI unit?

No, newton per square centimeter is a non-SI derived unit equivalent to 10,000 pascals.
