kgf/cm²tokgf/mm²

Convert kilograms-force per square centimetre (kgf/cm²) to kilograms-force per square millimetre (kgf/mm²).

Factor1 kgf/cm² = 0.01 kgf/mm²

Converter

kgf/cm²

Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7

Result
1kgf/mm²

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
kgf/mm² = kgf/cm² × 0.01

Multiply any value in kilograms-force per square centimetre by 0.01 to obtain the value in kilograms-force per square millimetre.

Worked example

Convert 100 kgf/cm² to kgf/mm².

  1. 01Start with 100 kgf/cm².
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.01 = 1 kgf/mm².
Result100 kgf/cm² = 1 kgf/mm²

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kgf/cm² to kgf/mm²?
1 kgf/cm² equals 0.01 kgf/mm². To convert, multiply the value in kilograms-force per square centimetre by 0.01.
How do I convert 1 kgf/cm² to kgf/mm²?
1 kgf/cm² = 0.01 kgf/mm². For any value, multiply by 0.01.
How do I convert kgf/mm² back to kgf/cm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 100. So 1 kgf/mm² = 100 kgf/cm².
When would I need to convert kilogram-force per square centimetre to kilogram-force per square millimetre?
Pressure conversions between kgf/cm² and kgf/mm² 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).
