What are Kilogram-force square centimeter and Pound-force square inch

A kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a metric unit of pressure. It is defined as the pressure exerted by a one kilogram-force being 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 kilogram-force is a gravitational metric unit, where one kilogram-force is the force exerted by gravity on one kilogram of mass.

A pound-force per square inch (lbf/in²) is a unit of pressure widely used in the United States and other countries still on the imperial system. It is defined as the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. This unit is a measure of the force exerted by gravity on a pound of mass. It is commonly used in various fields such as mechanical engineering, automotive, and aviation industries.
