Convert gram-force/sq. centimeter to kilogram-force/sq. millimeter
Please provide values below to convert gram-force/sq. centimeter [gf/cm^2] to kilogram-force/sq. millimeter [kgf/mm^2], or Convert kilogram-force/sq. millimeter to gram-force/sq. centimeter.
1 gf/cm^2 = 1e-05 kgf/mm^2. To convert gram-force/sq. centimeter to kilogram-force/sq. millimeter, multiply the value by 1e-05; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kgf/mm^2 = 100000 gf/cm^2). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 gf/cm^2 = 1e-05 kgf/mm^2
- 1 kgf/mm^2 = 100000 gf/cm^2
- 10 gf/cm^2 = 0.0001 kgf/mm^2
- 100 gf/cm^2 = 0.001 kgf/mm^2
How to Convert Gram-Force/sq. Centimeter to Kilogram-Force/sq. Millimeter
1 gf/cm^2 = 1e-05 kgf/mm^2
Example: convert 15 gf/cm^2 to kgf/mm^2:
15 gf/cm^2 = 15 × 1e-05 kgf/mm^2 = 0.00015 kgf/mm^2

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.
Kilogram-Force/sq. Millimeter
Kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square millimeter.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram, and was commonly used in engineering and material science to measure pressure before the adoption of SI units. Its usage has declined with the standardization of the pascal (Pa).
Current Use
Today, kgf/mm² is still used in some engineering fields, especially in material strength and pressure measurements, but it is largely replaced by SI units like the pascal (Pa) or megapascals (MPa).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 gram-force/sq. centimeter in kilogram-force/sq. millimeter?
1 gram-force/sq. centimeter (gf/cm^2) = 1e-05 kilogram-force/sq. millimeter (kgf/mm^2).
How do you convert gram-force/sq. centimeter to kilogram-force/sq. millimeter?
Multiply the gram-force/sq. centimeter value by 1e-05. For example, 25 gf/cm^2 × 1e-05 = 0.00025 kgf/mm^2.
What is 10 gram-force/sq. centimeter in kilogram-force/sq. millimeter?
10 gf/cm^2 = 0.0001 kgf/mm^2.
Which unit is larger, the gram-force/sq. centimeter or the kilogram-force/sq. millimeter?
The kilogram-force/sq. millimeter is the larger unit: 1 gf/cm^2 equals only 1e-05 kgf/mm^2.
