Convert kilogram-force/sq. cm to decipascal
Please provide values below to convert kilogram-force/sq. cm [kgf/cm^2] to decipascal [dPa], or Convert decipascal to kilogram-force/sq. cm.
1 kgf/cm^2 = 980665 dPa. To convert kilogram-force/sq. cm to decipascal, multiply the value by 980665; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dPa = 1.01971621298e-06 kgf/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 kgf/cm^2 = 980665 dPa
- 1 dPa = 1.01971621298e-06 kgf/cm^2
- 10 kgf/cm^2 = 9806650 dPa
- 100 kgf/cm^2 = 98066500 dPa
How to Convert Kilogram-Force/sq. Cm to Decipascal

Kilogram-Force/sq. Cm
Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of the kilogram-force, a non-SI unit of force based on the gravitational force on a kilogram, and was commonly used in engineering and physics before the widespread adoption of the Pascal. It was particularly prevalent in countries using the metric system for pressure measurements.
Current Use
Although largely replaced by the Pascal (Pa) in scientific contexts, kgf/cm² is still used in some industries such as hydraulics, pneumatics, and engineering to express pressure, especially in regions or applications where traditional units persist.
Decipascal
The decipascal (dPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one-tenth of a pascal, where 1 dPa = 0.1 Pa.
History/Origin
The decipascal was introduced as a metric unit to provide finer measurement options within the pressure unit system, though it is rarely used in practice due to the widespread adoption of the pascal.
Current Use
The decipascal is seldom used in modern applications; pressure measurements typically utilize pascals or larger units such as kilopascals. It may appear in specialized scientific contexts or educational settings for illustrative purposes.
