Newton per Square Millimeter (N/mm²) in Pressure

What is Newton per Square Millimeter (N/mm²)

Newton per square millimeter (N/mm²) is a unit of pressure that describes the force applied in newtons over an area measured in square millimeters. It is particularly used in engineering, materials science, and physics to quantify internal pressure, stress, or tensile strength. The unit is derived from Newton's law of motion, where one newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared.

To better understand this unit, consider that if you apply one newton of force to an area of one square millimeter, you create a pressure of one N/mm². This unit is a metric measure and is part of the International System of Units (SI). It is essential for specifying material properties and ensuring safety in various engineering applications.
