What are Kilogram-force per square Millimeter and Centimeter Mercury

Kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a metric unit of pressure. It's defined as the pressure exerted by one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square millimeter. This unit is not part of the International System of Units (SI) but is commonly used in engineering and applied sciences for measuring high-pressure values, particularly in materials testing and the strength of components.

Centimeter of mercury (cmHg) is a unit of pressure measurement that equates to the pressure exerted by a one-centimeter high column of mercury at 0 degrees Celsius. It is a non-SI unit but is still used in some fields, such as aviation and medicine, particularly in measuring blood pressure. The unit is defined by taking the weight of the mercury column and the acceleration due to gravity into account.

History of Kilogram-force per square Millimeter and Centimeter Mercury

The kgf/mm² to cmHg converter has a history rooted in the need to translate pressure measurements from metric to the mercury-based system. Historically, mercury was used due to its consistent density, making it ideal for precise measurements in scientific and industrial applications.
