What are Atmosphere and Kilogram-force_per_square_centimeter

Definition of Atmosphere

Atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as the pressure exerted by the weight of the Earth's atmosphere at sea level. It's equivalent to 101,325 pascals, or about 14.696 psi. This unit is commonly used in meteorology and for the calibration of pneumatic devices.

Definition of Kilogram-force_per_square_centimeter

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure where one kgf/cm² equals the pressure exerted by a one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square centimeter. This unit translates the gravitational force of a mass into pressure applied on a specific area.
