FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kgf/cm² to dyn/cm²?
1 kgf/cm² equals 980665 dyn/cm². To convert, multiply the value in kilograms-force per square centimetre by 980665.
How do I convert 1 kgf/cm² to dyn/cm²?
1 kgf/cm² = 980665 dyn/cm². For any value, multiply by 980665.
How do I convert dyn/cm² back to kgf/cm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1.019716e-6. So 1 dyn/cm² = 1.01972e-6 kgf/cm².
When would I need to convert kilogram-force per square centimetre to dyne per square centimetre?
Pressure conversions between kgf/cm² and dyn/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).
