What are Megapascal and Kilogram-force per square centimeter

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).

Kilogram-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).

History of Megapascal and Kilogram-force per square centimeter

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.
