Discover the ease of converting Megapascals to Kilogram-force per square millimeter with Newtum's precise MPa to kgf/mm² converter. A must-have tool for engineers and professionals!
A Megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one million pascals. It's widely used in engineering to measure the tensile strength, Young's modulus, and the stress of materials. One MPa corresponds to the pressure exerted by one Newton force applied uniformly over a square meter area.
Definition of Kilogram-force per square millimeterKilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a metric unit of pressure that is not a part of the International System of Units (SI). It represents the force of one kilogram exerted on an area of one square millimeter. This unit is commonly used in some fields of engineering and material science to describe tensile strength, yield strength, and other stress-related parameters of materials.
| Megapascal (MPa) | Kilogram-force per sq. Millimeter (kgf/mm²) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 MPa | 0.0102 kgf/mm² |
| 0.5 MPa | 0.051 kgf/mm² |
| 1 MPa | 0.102 kgf/mm² |
| 2 MPa | 0.204 kgf/mm² |
| 5 MPa | 0.510 kgf/mm² |
| 10 MPa | 1.02 kgf/mm² |
| 20 MPa | 2.04 kgf/mm² |
| 50 MPa | 5.10 kgf/mm² |
| 100 MPa | 10.2 kgf/mm² |
| 200 MPa | 20.4 kgf/mm² |
1 MPa = 0.102 kgf/mm²
1 kgf/mm² = 9.807 MPa
Example 1:
convert 2 MPa to kgf/mm²:
2 MPa = 2 × 0.102 kgf/mm² = 0.204 kgf/mm²
Example 2:
convert 5 MPa to kgf/mm²:
5 MPa = 5 × 0.102 kgf/mm² = 0.510 kgf/mm²
The conversion between Megapascal (MPa) and Kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) has its roots in engineering and material science. The need to relate units of pressure and force per unit area for material testing and specification led to the development of unit converters like this one.
Explore practical applications of the MPa to kgf/mm² converter, integral to fields requiring material strength assessments.
Example 1:
To convert 3 MPa to kgf/mm²:
3 MPa × 0.102 kgf/mm²/MPa = 0.306 kgf/mm²
Example 2:
To convert 7.5 MPa to kgf/mm²:
7.5 MPa × 0.102 kgf/mm²/MPa = 0.765 kgf/mm²
