Discover the ease of converting kgf/cm² to kPa with our reliable converter, developed by Newtum. Seamlessly transform pressure units and enhance your workflows.
A kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure expressed as the force of one kilogram (kg) acting on an area of one square centimeter.
Definition of KilopascalThe kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure within the International System of Units (SI). It equates to one thousand pascals, where a pascal is the pressure exerted by a force of one newton acting on an area of one square meter.
| Kilogram-force/sq. cm (kgf/cm²) | Kilopascal (kPa) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 kgf/cm² | 9.807 kPa |
| 0.2 kgf/cm² | 19.614 kPa |
| 0.3 kgf/cm² | 29.421 kPa |
| 0.4 kgf/cm² | 39.228 kPa |
| 0.5 kgf/cm² | 49.035 kPa |
| 0.6 kgf/cm² | 58.842 kPa |
| 0.7 kgf/cm² | 68.649 kPa |
| 0.8 kgf/cm² | 78.456 kPa |
| 0.9 kgf/cm² | 88.263 kPa |
| 1.0 kgf/cm² | 98.07 kPa |
Example 1:
Convert 1 kgf/cm² to kPa:
1 kgf/cm² = 1 × 98.07 kPa = 98.07 kPa
Example 2:
Convert 2.5 kgf/cm² to kPa:
2.5 kgf/cm² = 2.5 × 98.07 kPa = 245.175 kPa
The concept of converting between kgf/cm² and kPa arose with the need for standardized pressure units in science and engineering. The adoption of the International System of Units (SI) facilitated the widespread use of kPa, necessitating tools for conversion from traditional units like kgf/cm².
Harness the practicality of converting pressure from kgf/cm² to kPa to streamline various real-world applications.
Example 1:
Convert 3 kgf/cm² to kPa:
3 kgf/cm² = 3 × 98.07 kPa = 294.21 kPa
Example 2:
Convert 7 kgf/cm² to kPa:
7 kgf/cm² = 7 × 98.07 kPa = 686.49 kPa
