What are Kilogram-force per square millimeter and Psi

Definition of Kilogram-force per square millimeter

Kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a unit of pressure represented by the force in kilograms exerted on one square millimeter of area. It's a non-SI metric unit, widely used in engineering and scientific contexts, particularly in regions where the metric system prevails. This unit is a measure of the intensity with which the force is distributed over a specific area, and it is crucial for assessing material strength and load-bearing capacity.

Definition of Psi

Pounds per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure widely used in various fields, such as mechanical engineering and the automotive industry. It measures the force in pounds applied over an area of one square inch. This unit is part of the imperial system of units and is commonly used in the United States and other countries where the imperial system is in practice. Psi is essential for assessing the pressure levels in tires, hydraulic systems, and pressurized containers.
