Dyne/square Centimeter
A dyne per square centimeter (dyn/cm^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one dyne applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, introduced in the 19th century. The dyn/cm^2 has been used primarily in physics and engineering to measure pressure in CGS units before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the dyn/cm^2 is rarely used outside specialized scientific contexts; pressure is more commonly expressed in pascals (Pa) in the SI system. However, it remains relevant in certain fields like astrophysics and plasma physics where CGS units are still employed.
Gram-Force/sq. Centimeter
Gram-force per square centimeter (gf/cm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force exerted by one gram-force applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of gram-force, a non-SI unit of force based on the gram, and was commonly used in engineering and scientific contexts before the adoption of SI units. It was primarily used in regions and industries where the metric system was prevalent.
Current Use
Today, gf/cm² is largely considered obsolete and is rarely used in modern scientific or engineering applications. Pressure measurements are typically expressed in pascals (Pa) or bar, but the unit may still appear in legacy systems or specific niche contexts.
