Converting from Kilopascal (kPa) to Newton per Square Centimeter (N/cm²)

What is Kilopascal (kPa)

Kilopascal (kPa) is a metric unit of pressure commonly used in engineering and scientific applications. It is equal to 1,000 pascals, which is the SI derived unit of pressure.

What is Newton per Square Centimeter (N/cm²)

Newton per Square Centimeter (N/cm²) is also a unit of pressure, representing the force in newtons applied to an area of one square centimeter. It is a non-SI unit but is still widely used in various fields.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Kilopascal (kPa) to Newton per Square Centimeter (N/cm²):

• 1(kPa)=0.1(N/cm²)
• X(kPa)=0.1×X(N/cm²)

To convert from Newton per Square Centimeter (N/cm²) to Kilopascal (kPa):

• 1(N/cm²)=10(kPa)
• X(N/cm²)=10×X(kPa)

Examples

• Converting 8 kPa to N/cm²:

8(kPa)=8×0.1=0.8(N/cm²)

• Converting 13 kPa to N/cm²:

13(kPa)=13×0.1=1.3(N/cm²)

• Converting 3 N/cm² to kPa:

3(N/cm²)=3×10=30(kPa)
