What are Newton square Centimeter and Kilogram-force sq. Millimeter

A Newton per square centimeter (N/cm²) is a unit of pressure in the metric system. It quantifies the force of one Newton exerted over an area of one square centimeter. Pressure, as defined, is the amount of force acting per unit area. The Newton, named after Sir Isaac Newton, is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. Pressure measured in N/cm² can describe the stress within a material or the force exerted by a fluid on a surface.

A kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a non-SI unit of pressure, also known as a technical atmosphere. It represents the pressure generated by one kilogram-force applied to an area of one square millimeter. The concept of a kilogram-force is based on the force exerted by gravity on one kilogram of mass at the Earth's surface, which is approximately equal to 9.80665 Newtons. This unit is commonly used in engineering fields to express tensile strength, material hardness, and mechanical pressure.

History of Newton square Centimeter and Kilogram-force sq. Millimeter

The conversion from Newton per square centimeter to kilogram-force per square millimeter has its roots in the need to bridge different measurement systems. Historically, the metric system's adoption led to the creation of units like the Newton for force. With industrialization and engineering advancements, there was a necessity to convert these units to ones that were practical for material testing, leading to the use of kilogram-force per square millimeter in various fields.
