What are Kilogram-force sq. Cm and Poundal square Foot

Definition of Kilogram-force sq. Cm

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure. It represents the pressure exerted by one kilogram-force being applied to an area of one square centimeter. This measurement is part of the metric system and is commonly used in engineering and physics to express pressures within a relatively small scale, such as in material testing or hydraulic systems.

Definition of Poundal square Foot

Poundal per square foot (pdl/ft²) is a unit of pressure within the Imperial system of units. It measures the force of one poundal applied over an area of one square foot. In more technical terms, since a poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, pdl/ft² quantifies how much force is exerted against a surface, providing a way to calculate pressure distribution in various scientific and engineering contexts.
