Convert kilogram-force/sq. cm to ton-force (long)/square inch
Please provide values below to convert kilogram-force/sq. cm [kgf/cm^2] to ton-force (long)/square inch [tonf (UK)/in^2], or Convert ton-force (long)/square inch to kilogram-force/sq. cm.
1 kgf/cm^2 = 0.00634970683218 tonf (UK)/in^2. To convert kilogram-force/sq. cm to ton-force (long)/square inch, multiply the value by 0.00634970683218; to go the other way, divide by it (1 tonf (UK)/in^2 = 157.487585873 kgf/cm^2). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

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.
Ton-Force (Long)/square Inch
Ton-force per square inch (tonf/in²) is a unit of pressure representing the force exerted by one ton-force distributed over an area of one square inch.
History/Origin
The ton-force (long) originated from the imperial system of units used in the UK, where it was defined as the force exerted by a long ton (2,240 pounds) under standard gravity. It has been used historically in engineering and pressure measurements but has largely been replaced by SI units.
Current Use
Today, ton-force per square inch is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by pascals (Pa) or pounds per square inch (psi). It may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial contexts in the UK.
