Converting Kilogram per Square Centimeter (kgf/cm²) to Kilopascal (kPa) in Pressure

What is Kilogram per Square Centimeter (kgf/cm²)

Kilogram per Square Centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure commonly used in engineering and meteorology. It measures the force exerted on a surface per unit area, equivalent to the weight of a one-kilogram mass over a square centimeter area.

What is Kilopascal (kPa)

Kilopascal (kPa) is another unit of pressure in the metric system. It is defined as 1,000 pascals, where 1 pascal is equal to the pressure of one newton per square meter. Kilopascal is widely used in scientific and engineering applications to express pressure in a more convenient magnitude.

Conversion Formulas

• To convert from kgf/cm² to kPa: kPa=kgf/cm^2×98.0665
• To convert from kPa to kgf/cm²: kgf/cm^2=kPa×0.01019716

Examples

1. Converting 9 kgf/cm² to kPa: 9kgf/cm²=9×98.0665=882.5985kPa
2. Converting 3 kPa to kgf/cm²: 3kPa=3×0.01019716=0.03059149kgf/cm²
3. Converting 15 kgf/cm² to kPa: 15kgf/cm²=15×98.0665=1470.998kPa
4. Converting 9 kPa to kgf/cm²: 9kPa=9×0.01019716=0.09177446kgf/cm²

Conclusion

Use the provided conversion formulas to easily switch between Kilogram per Square Centimeter (kgf/cm²) and Kilopascal (kPa) when working with pressure measurements.
