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

A kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure defined as the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in Earth's gravity on an area of one square centimeter. It is a metric unit commonly used in engineering and physics to describe pressures within a relatively small area.

A ton-force per square inch (tonf/in²) is a unit of pressure that represents the force of one short ton (2000 pounds) acting on an area of one square inch. It is predominantly used in the United States and is a measure of high pressures, often in industrial and mechanical contexts.

History of Kilogram-force square centimeter and Ton-force square inch
