Convert kilogram-force/sq. cm to ton-force (short)/sq. inch
Please provide values below to convert kilogram-force/sq. cm [kgf/cm^2] to ton-force (short)/sq. inch [tonf (US)/in^2], or Convert ton-force (short)/sq. inch to kilogram-force/sq. cm.
1 kgf/cm^2 = 0.00711167165373 tonf (US)/in^2. To convert kilogram-force/sq. cm to ton-force (short)/sq. inch, multiply the value by 0.00711167165373; to go the other way, divide by it (1 tonf (US)/in^2 = 140.613915924 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 (Short)/sq. Inch
Ton-force per square inch (tonf/in^2) 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 per square inch originated from the use of the ton-force as a unit of force in the Imperial system, primarily for measuring pressure in engineering and industrial contexts. It has been used historically in fields such as material testing and hydraulic systems.
Current Use
Today, ton-force per square inch is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by the more standard unit of pressure, the pound per square inch (psi). It may still appear in legacy documents or specific industrial applications where imperial units are preferred.
