Convert gram-force/sq. centimeter to pascal
Please provide values below to convert gram-force/sq. centimeter [gf/cm^2] to pascal [Pa], or Convert pascal to gram-force/sq. centimeter.
1 gf/cm^2 = 98.0665 Pa. To convert gram-force/sq. centimeter to pascal, multiply the value by 98.0665; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Pa = 0.0101971621298 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 = 98.0665 Pa
- 1 Pa = 0.0101971621298 gf/cm^2
- 10 gf/cm^2 = 980.665 Pa
- 100 gf/cm^2 = 9806.65 Pa
How to Convert Gram-Force/sq. Centimeter to Pascal
1 gf/cm^2 = 98.0665 Pa
Example: convert 15 gf/cm^2 to Pa:
15 gf/cm^2 = 15 × 98.0665 Pa = 1470.9975 Pa

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.
Pascal
The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
Named after Blaise Pascal, the pascal was adopted as the SI unit of pressure in 1971, replacing earlier units like the bar and atmosphere.
Current Use
The pascal is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology to measure pressure, with common applications including atmospheric pressure, tire pressure, and fluid pressure in systems.
