Convert psi to kilogram-force/sq. millimeter
Please provide values below to convert psi [psi] to kilogram-force/sq. millimeter [kgf/mm^2], or Convert kilogram-force/sq. millimeter to psi.
1 psi = 0.000703069579316 kgf/mm^2. To convert psi to kilogram-force/sq. millimeter, multiply the value by 0.000703069579316; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kgf/mm^2 = 1422.33433137 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. 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).
