Discover the ease of converting pressure units from megapascals to kilogram-force per square centimeter with our intuitive MPa to kgf/cm² converter, crafted for precision by Newtum.
A megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equivalent to one million pascals. It is widely used in material science and engineering to express tensile strength, elastic modulus, and the pressure of fluids. A megapascal can also be understood as a measure of force exerted over a square meter area, with one MPa equaling approximately 145.038 pounds of force per square inch (psi).
Definition of Kilogram-force per square centimeterKilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a non-SI unit of pressure. It represents the pressure exerted by one kilogram-force applied to an area of one square centimeter. Often used in engineering and applied physics, this unit reflects the gravitational force of Earth on a mass, where 1 kgf/cm² is roughly equivalent to 98,066.5 pascals in the International System of Units (SI).

| 0.5 MPa | 5.0986 kgf/cm² |
| 1 MPa | 10.1972 kgf/cm² |
| 2 MPa | 20.3945 kgf/cm² |
| 3 MPa | 30.5917 kgf/cm² |
| 5 MPa | 50.9862 kgf/cm² |
| 10 MPa | 101.9723 kgf/cm² |
| 20 MPa | 203.9447 kgf/cm² |
| 50 MPa | 509.8617 kgf/cm² |
| 100 MPa | 1019.7234 kgf/cm² |
1 MPa = 10.1972 kgf/cm²
1 kgf/cm² = 0.0981 MPa
Example 1:
convert 2 MPa to kgf/cm²:
2 MPa = 2 × 10.1972 kgf/cm² = 20.3945 kgf/cm²
Example 2:
convert 0.5 MPa to kgf/cm²:
0.5 MPa = 0.5 × 10.1972 kgf/cm² = 5.0986 kgf/cm²
The MPa to kgf/cm² converter has its roots in the need for engineers and scientists to translate pressure measurements between different unit systems. This conversion is vital for international collaboration and standardization in various industries where pressure plays a crucial role in the design and functionality of products.
Harness the power of our MPa to kgf/cm² converter to apply precision to real-world scenarios where accurate pressure conversion is key.
Example 1:
To convert 3 MPa to kgf/cm²:
3 MPa = 3 × 10.1972 kgf/cm² = 30.5917 kgf/cm²
Example 2:
To convert 7 MPa to kgf/cm²:
7 MPa = 7 × 10.1972 kgf/cm² = 71.3804 kgf/cm²
