FAQ

What is the conversion factor from N/mm² to kgf/cm²?
1 N/mm² equals 10.19716 kgf/cm². To convert, multiply the value in newtons per square millimetre by 10.19716.
How do I convert 1 N/mm² to kgf/cm²?
1 N/mm² = 10.1972 kgf/cm². For any value, multiply by 10.19716.
How do I convert kgf/cm² back to N/mm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.0980665. So 1 kgf/cm² = 0.0980665 N/mm².
When would I need to convert newton per square millimetre to kilogram-force per square centimetre?
Pressure conversions between N/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).
