What are Kilogram-force per square millimeter and Gigapascal

A kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a metric unit of pressure that is not part of the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the pressure exerted by one kilogram-force (the force of gravity on one kilogram) acting on an area of one square millimeter.

A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure or stress in the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to one billion pascals or 1,000 megapascals. The pascal unit (Pa) is defined as one newton per square meter, making the gigapascal a measure of immense pressure or stress.

History of Kilogram-force per square millimeter and Gigapascal

The concept of converting kilogram-force per square millimeter to gigapascals has been instrumental in simplifying complex engineering calculations, ensuring uniformity in international standards of pressure measurement.
