Convert kilogram-force/sq. cm to kilogram-force/square meter
Please provide values below to convert kilogram-force/sq. cm [kgf/cm^2] to kilogram-force/square meter [kgf/m^2], or Convert kilogram-force/square meter to kilogram-force/sq. cm.
1 kgf/cm^2 = 10000 kgf/m^2. To convert kilogram-force/sq. cm to kilogram-force/square meter, multiply the value by 10000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kgf/m^2 = 0.0001 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 = 10000 kgf/m^2
- 1 kgf/m^2 = 0.0001 kgf/cm^2
- 10 kgf/cm^2 = 100000 kgf/m^2
- 100 kgf/cm^2 = 1000000 kgf/m^2
How to Convert Kilogram-Force/sq. Cm to Kilogram-Force/square Meter

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.
Kilogram-Force/square Meter
Kilogram-force per square meter (kgf/m^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square meter.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram, before the adoption of SI units. It was commonly used in engineering and physics to measure pressure in contexts where gravitational force was considered.
Current Use
Today, kgf/m^2 is largely obsolete and replaced by the SI unit Pascal (Pa). However, it may still be encountered in legacy systems or specific regional applications related to pressure measurement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilogram-force/sq. cm in kilogram-force/square meter?
1 kilogram-force/sq. cm (kgf/cm^2) = 10000 kilogram-force/square meter (kgf/m^2).
