What are Kilogram-force sq. cm and Inch mercury

Definition of Kilogram-force sq. cm

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure. It is defined as the pressure exerted by one kilogram-force acting on an area of one square centimeter. This unit is not a part of the International System of Units (SI) but is still used in some contexts. It's a measure of how much force is exerted over a specific area and is commonly used in engineering and applied sciences.

Definition of Inch mercury

Inch of mercury (inHg) is a unit of pressure measurement that uses the height of mercury in a column as the indicator of pressure. Specifically, it represents the amount of pressure that can support a one-inch column of mercury at 0°C or 32°F. InHg is commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure and is also applied in aviation, engineering, and various scientific contexts.
