What are Kilogram-force sq. Cm and Kip-force square Inch

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure. It is defined as the force exerted by one kilogram-force (kgf), or approximately 9.80665 newtons, on an area of one square centimeter. This unit is predominant in engineering and scientific contexts within certain regions, providing a measure of pressure in a metric scale that relates directly to the gravitational force of Earth.

Kip-force per square inch (kipf/in²) is a unit of pressure predominantly used in the United States. One kip-force is equivalent to a force of 1000 pounds-force (lbf). Therefore, a kipf/in² represents the pressure exerted by 1000 pounds-force on an area of one square inch. This unit is commonly used in civil and structural engineering, particularly in the context of materials strength and load-bearing calculations.

History of Kilogram-force sq. Cm and Kip-force square Inch

The Kilogram-force sq. Cm to Kip-force square Inch Converter reflects the evolution of engineering units. Originally, various systems used local units until the International System of Units (SI) became widely adopted. However, certain regions, like the United States, still use customary units such as kipf/in², creating a need for conversion tools to bridge the gap between different measurement systems.
