Converting from Kilogram per Square Meter (kgf/m²) to Kilopascal (kPa) in Pressure

What is Kilogram per Square Meter (kgf/m²)

Kilogram per square meter (kgf/m²) is a unit of pressure commonly used in engineering and physics. It represents the force in kilograms acting on a surface area of one square meter.

What is Kilopascal (kPa)

Kilopascal (kPa) is a metric unit of pressure derived from the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as one newton of force applied over an area of one square meter, equivalent to 1000 pascals.

Conversion Formulas

• To convert from kgf/m² to kPa: kPa=kgf/m^2×0.00980665
• To convert from kPa to kgf/m²: kgf/m^2=kPa×101.9716

Examples

1. Converting 15 kgf/m² to kPa: 15kgf/m^2=15×0.00980665=0.1470998kPa

2. Converting 3 kPa to kgf/m²: 3kPa=3×101.9716=305.9149kgf/m^2

3. Converting 9 kgf/m² to kPa: 9kgf/m^2=9×0.00980665=0.08825985kPa

Conclusion

Use the provided conversion formulas to easily convert pressure values between kilogram per square meter and kilopascal units.
