Convert kilogram-force/sq. millimeter to kilogram-force/sq. cm
Please provide values below to convert kilogram-force/sq. millimeter [kgf/mm^2] to kilogram-force/sq. cm [kgf/cm^2], or Convert kilogram-force/sq. cm to kilogram-force/sq. millimeter.
1 kgf/mm^2 = 100 kgf/cm^2. To convert kilogram-force/sq. millimeter to kilogram-force/sq. cm, multiply the value by 100; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kgf/cm^2 = 0.01 kgf/mm^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/mm^2 = 100 kgf/cm^2
- 1 kgf/cm^2 = 0.01 kgf/mm^2
- 10 kgf/mm^2 = 1000 kgf/cm^2
- 100 kgf/mm^2 = 10000 kgf/cm^2
How to Convert Kilogram-Force/sq. Millimeter to Kilogram-Force/sq. Cm
1 kgf/mm^2 = 100 kgf/cm^2
Example: convert 15 kgf/mm^2 to kgf/cm^2:
15 kgf/mm^2 = 15 × 100 kgf/cm^2 = 1500 kgf/cm^2

Kilogram-Force/sq. Millimeter
Kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square millimeter.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram, and was commonly used in engineering and material science to measure pressure before the adoption of SI units. Its usage has declined with the standardization of the pascal (Pa).
Current Use
Today, kgf/mm² is still used in some engineering fields, especially in material strength and pressure measurements, but it is largely replaced by SI units like the pascal (Pa) or megapascals (MPa).
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.
