What are Kilogram-force square Millimeter and Kip-force square Inch

Definition of Kilogram-force square Millimeter

Kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a metric unit of pressure. It represents the amount of force exerted by one kilogram of mass in Earth's gravity on an area of one square millimeter. This unit is commonly used in materials science and engineering to express tensile strength, yield strength, and other stress-related parameters of materials.

Definition of Kip-force square Inch

Kip-force per square inch (kipf/in²) is a unit of pressure commonly used in the field of engineering in the United States. It represents the amount of force in kips (one kip equals 1,000 pounds-force) applied to an area of one square inch. This unit is particularly useful for measuring larger loads in structural and mechanical engineering applications.
