What are Decipascal and Kilogram-force per square centimeter

Definition of Decipascal

A Decipascal (dp) is a unit of pressure equivalent to one-tenth of a Pascal, the SI derived unit of pressure. It represents the force of one Newton perpendicularly applied to an area of ten square meters. This smaller unit helps in precision measurements where fine gradations of pressure are required.

Definition of Kilogram-force per square centimeter

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a non-SI unit of pressure. It is defined as the pressure exerted by one kilogram-force acting on an area of one square centimeter. It's a convenient unit for measuring smaller pressures where the use of Pascals may result in large numerical values.
