What are Gram-force per square centimeter and Dekapascal

Definition of Gram-force per square centimeter

Gram-force per square centimeter (gf/cm^2) is a metric unit of pressure. It represents the pressure exerted by a gram-force (gf) distributed over an area of one square centimeter. This unit is not part of the International System of Units (SI) but is commonly used in certain fields and countries for measuring low levels of pressure.

Definition of Dekapascal

A Dekapascal (daPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equal to ten Pascals. The Pascal is the SI derived unit for pressure, named after Blaise Pascal, which equates to one Newton per square meter. The Dekapascal is used less commonly than other metric pressure units but serves as a useful measure for moderate pressure levels.
