Convert kilogram force per square centimeter to pascal
Kilogram-Force per Square Centimeter
Kilogram-force per square centimetre (kgf/cm²) is a technical atmosphere unit of pressure equal to exactly 98,066.5 pascals (approximately 0.968 atm). It was widely used in European industry, hydraulics, and engineering before the adoption of SI units. One kgf/cm² represents the pressure exerted by a one-kilogram mass under standard gravity distributed over one square centimetre.
Pascal
The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square metre (N/m²). It was adopted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1971 and named after the French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal. Standard atmospheric pressure is approximately 101,325 Pa, and it is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology.
