What are Kilogram-force sq. Cm and Ksi

Definition of Kilogram-force sq. Cm

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure. It's defined as the force of one kilogram-force applied to 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. The pressure exerted by this force can be imagined as the weight of a one kilogram mass acting on a surface area of one square centimeter.

Definition of Ksi

Ksi is a unit of pressure that stands for kilopounds per square inch. It is primarily used in the United States and is equal to 1000 pounds-force per square inch. This unit measures the stress or pressure on a material and is commonly used in materials science and engineering, particularly when discussing the tensile strength of metals and alloys.
