What are Kilogram-force square centimeter and Torr

Definition of Kilogram-force square centimeter

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure. It represents the force of one kilogram-force applied to an area of one square centimeter. Derived from the gravitational force exerted by a kilogram mass in Earth's gravity, it is a metric unit commonly used in engineering and physics to express pressures within a variety of systems.

Definition of Torr

A Torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, named after Evangelista Torricelli, an Italian physicist and mathematician. It is defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, approximately equal to the pressure exerted by a one-millimeter column of mercury at zero degrees Celsius at the earth's sea level. It is widely used in vacuum measurements and barometric pressure readings.
