What are Pound-force square Foot and Kilogram-force sq. Cm

Definition of Pound-force square Foot

Pound-force per square foot (lbf/ft²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square foot. It is part of the imperial units system used primarily in the United States. This measure is often used in industries such as engineering and aviation to express pressures like wind load on structures.

Definition of Kilogram-force sq. Cm

Kilogram-force per square centimetre (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure defined as the force of one kilogram-force applied to an area of one square centimetre. Commonly used in the metric system, this unit expresses measurements in scientific and engineering contexts, particularly when dealing with mechanical stress and material properties.
