FAQ

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