A kip-force square inch (kipf/in²) is a unit of pressure measurement used in engineering. It represents the pressure exerted by one kip-force, which is equivalent to 1000 pounds-force, over an area of one square inch. This unit is commonly used in structural engineering to describe the strength of materials, particularly in the United States.
Definition of kilogram-force square centimeterA kilogram-force square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a metric unit of pressure. It signifies the pressure exerted by a kilogram-force (the gravitational force exerted on a kilogram mass) over an area of one square centimeter. This unit is widely used in various engineering fields and physical sciences to measure stress, tensile strength, and material resistance.
