What are Gram-force per square centimeter and Millipascal

Definition of Gram-force per square centimeter

Gram-force per square centimeter (gf/cm²) is a unit of pressure. It represents the force of one gram exerted on an area of one square centimeter. This measurement is a part of the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. Understanding this unit is vital for fields that require precise pressure measurements, such as material science and engineering.

Definition of Millipascal

A millipascal (mPa) is a metric unit of pressure that is equal to one thousandth of a Pascal, the standard unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). Millipascals are used when dealing with pressures that are relatively low, as they allow for a more precise measurement without resorting to large decimal numbers.
