Convert psi to kilogram-force/sq. cm
Please provide values below to convert psi [psi] to kilogram-force/sq. cm [kgf/cm^2], or Convert kilogram-force/sq. cm to psi.
1 psi = 0.0703069579316 kgf/cm^2. To convert psi to kilogram-force/sq. cm, multiply the value by 0.0703069579316; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kgf/cm^2 = 14.2233433137 psi). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Psi
Psi (pounds per square inch) is a unit of pressure measurement representing the force of one pound applied to an area of one square inch.
History/Origin
The psi originated in the United States as a customary unit of pressure, commonly used in engineering and industrial applications. It became standardized with the development of the imperial system of units.
Current Use
Psi is widely used today in various fields such as automotive tire pressure, plumbing, and industrial pressure measurements, especially in the United States and other countries using imperial units.
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.
