FAQ

What is the conversion factor from dyn/cm² to kgf/cm²?
1 dyn/cm² equals 1.019716e-6 kgf/cm². To convert, multiply the value in dynes per square centimetre by 1.019716e-6.
How do I convert 1 dyn/cm² to kgf/cm²?
1 dyn/cm² = 1.01972e-6 kgf/cm². For any value, multiply by 1.019716e-6.
How do I convert kgf/cm² back to dyn/cm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 980665. So 1 kgf/cm² = 980665 dyn/cm².
When would I need to convert dyne per square centimetre to kilogram-force per square centimetre?
Pressure conversions between dyn/cm² and kgf/cm² are common when working with mixed-vendor instrumentation, when piping codes use different units to process datasheets, or when converting field readings into SI for hydraulic calculations.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
