Convert ksi to newton/square centimeter
Please provide values below to convert ksi [ksi] to newton/square centimeter [N/cm^2], or Convert newton/square centimeter to ksi.
1 ksi = 689.475729 N/cm^2. To convert ksi to newton/square centimeter, multiply the value by 689.475729; to go the other way, divide by it (1 N/cm^2 = 0.00145037737797 ksi). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Ksi
Ksi (kilopound per square inch) is a unit of pressure measurement representing thousands of pounds-force per square inch.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the imperial system, primarily used in the United States for measuring pressure in engineering and industrial contexts, especially in the oil and gas industries.
Current Use
Ksi is still used today in engineering, construction, and manufacturing to specify material strength, pressure ratings, and structural specifications, particularly in the United States.
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.
