What are Kilogram-force square centimeter and Centipascal

A kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure. It represents the pressure exerted by a one kilogram-force being applied over an area of one square centimeter. This metric unit, predominantly used in some engineering fields and countries, quantifies force per unit area, providing a measure of stress, material strength, and mechanical loads.

A centipascal (cPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equal to one hundredth of a pascal. The pascal is the SI unit for pressure and is defined as one newton per square meter. The centipascal provides a finer scale for measuring low pressures, often used in scientific and engineering calculations to express stress, sound pressure, and small differential pressures.

History of Kilogram-force square centimeter and Centipascal

The concept of converting Kilogram-force per square centimeter to Centipascal dates back to the adoption of the metric system, where the need for a standard unit of pressure became clear. Since then, various tools have been developed, facilitating easy conversion between these two units, essential for engineering and scientific applications.
