Convert kilogram-force/sq. millimeter to newton/square centimeter
Please provide values below to convert kilogram-force/sq. millimeter [kgf/mm^2] to newton/square centimeter [N/cm^2], or Convert newton/square centimeter to kilogram-force/sq. millimeter.
1 kgf/mm^2 = 980.665 N/cm^2. To convert kilogram-force/sq. millimeter to newton/square centimeter, multiply the value by 980.665; to go the other way, divide by it (1 N/cm^2 = 0.00101971621298 kgf/mm^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. 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).
Newton/square Centimeter
The newton per square centimeter (N/cm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one newton applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the SI unit of force, the newton, combined with the centimeter as a unit of area. It has been used in fields like engineering and physics to measure pressure, especially in contexts where the centimeter is a convenient unit of length. Its usage predates the widespread adoption of the pascal (Pa), which is equivalent to N/m².
Current Use
The N/cm² is still used in certain engineering and industrial applications, particularly in contexts where pressure measurements are expressed in centimeters rather than meters. It is also used in some scientific fields for convenience, though the pascal is more common internationally.
