What is gamma used for?

Gamma is a historical unit of mass equal to one microgram, used to express very small sample masses in fields like geochemistry and analytical chemistry.

Why convert gamma to kilogram-force square second per meter?

This conversion translates small mass values into force-derived mass units, aiding compatibility with legacy engineering data and SI mass analyses.

Are there any limitations to this conversion?

Yes, due to the extremely small mass represented by gamma and the derived nature of the target unit, precision loss may occur, limiting use to specialized contexts.
