What are Kilogram-force square centimeter and Torr

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.

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.

History of Kilogram-force square centimeter and Torr

The concept of converting pressure from kgf/cm² to Torr originated from the need to standardize measurements across various scientific and engineering fields. This conversion helps professionals to communicate and compare results regardless of the pressure unit preferences in different regions or industries.
