What are Dekapascal and Kilogram-force per square centimeter

Definition of Dekapascal

A Dekapascal (daPa) is a metric unit of pressure equivalent to ten Pascals. It is not commonly used, but it serves as an intermediary scale between the Pascal (Pa) and the hectopascal (hPa), commonly used in meteorology.

Definition of Kilogram-force per square centimeter

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a non-SI metric unit of pressure. It is defined as the pressure exerted by one kilogram-force acting on an area of one square centimeter.
