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

What is Kilopascal (kPa)

Kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure commonly used in engineering and scientific applications. It is equal to one thousand pascals and is used to measure the pressure exerted by a force of one kilonewton acting on an area of one square meter.

What is Kilogram per Square Centimeter (kgf/cm²)

Kilogram per Square Centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a metric unit of pressure that represents the force exerted by one kilogram of mass on a one square centimeter area. It is commonly used in countries that follow the metric system.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between kilopascal (kPa) and kilogram per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) can be done using the following formulas:

1. To convert from kilopascal to kilogram per square centimeter:

Pressure in kgf/cm²=Pressure in kPa×0.01019716

2. To convert from kilogram per square centimeter to kilopascal:

Pressure in kPa=Pressure in kgf/cm²×98.0665

Examples

1. Converting 4 kPa to kgf/cm²:

4 kPa=4×0.01019716=0.04078865 kgf/cm²

2. Converting 7 kgf/cm² to kPa:

7 kgf/cm²=7×98.0665=686.4655 kPa

3. Converting 14 kPa to kgf/cm²:

14 kPa=14×0.01019716=0.1427603 kgf/cm²
