Convert kilogram-force/sq. cm to gram-force/sq. centimeter
Please provide values below to convert kilogram-force/sq. cm [kgf/cm^2] to gram-force/sq. centimeter [gf/cm^2], or Convert gram-force/sq. centimeter to kilogram-force/sq. cm.
1 kgf/cm^2 = 1000 gf/cm^2. To convert kilogram-force/sq. cm to gram-force/sq. centimeter, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 gf/cm^2 = 0.001 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 = 1000 gf/cm^2
- 1 gf/cm^2 = 0.001 kgf/cm^2
- 10 kgf/cm^2 = 10000 gf/cm^2
- 100 kgf/cm^2 = 100000 gf/cm^2
How to Convert Kilogram-Force/sq. Cm to Gram-Force/sq. Centimeter
1 kgf/cm^2 = 1000 gf/cm^2
Example: convert 15 kgf/cm^2 to gf/cm^2:
15 kgf/cm^2 = 15 × 1000 gf/cm^2 = 15000 gf/cm^2

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.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
