Converting from Kilonewton per Square Meter (kN/m²) to Kilogram per Square Meter (kgf/m²) in Pressure

What is Kilonewton per Square Meter (kN/m²)

Kilonewton per square meter (kN/m²) is a metric unit of pressure. It represents the force of one kilonewton applied over an area of one square meter.

What is Kilogram per Square Meter (kgf/m²)

Kilogram-force per square meter (kgf/m²) is another unit of pressure in the metric system. It is the force exerted by one kilogram force acting on an area of one square meter.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from kN/m² to kgf/m², multiply the value in kilonewton per square meter by 101.9716.
To convert from kgf/m² to kN/m², multiply the value in kilogram per square meter by 0.00980665.

Examples:

1. 16 kN/m² = 1631.546 kgf/m² 16×101.9716=1631.546

2. 3 kN/m² = 305.9149 kgf/m² 3×101.9716=305.9149

3. 12 kgf/m² = 0.1176798 kN/m² 12×0.00980665=0.1176798

Conclusion: Use these conversion formulas to accurately convert between kN/m² and kgf/m² for pressure calculations.
