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.
Kip-Force/square Inch
Kip-force per square inch (kipf/in^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kip applied over an area of one square inch.
History/Origin
The kip-force is a unit of force used primarily in the United States, especially in engineering contexts, where it is equal to 1,000 pounds-force. The unit kip-force per square inch has been used in structural engineering to measure stress and pressure in materials and structures.
Current Use
Today, kipf/in^2 is primarily used in the United States within structural engineering and material testing to specify stress levels, though the SI unit Pascal is more common internationally.
