FAQ

What is the conversion factor from Pa to kgf/cm²?
1 Pa equals 1.019716e-5 kgf/cm². To convert, multiply the value in pascals (stress) by 1.019716e-5.
How do I convert 1 Pa to kgf/cm²?
1 Pa = 1.01972e-5 kgf/cm². For any value, multiply by 1.019716e-5.
How do I convert kgf/cm² back to Pa?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 98066.5. So 1 kgf/cm² = 98066.5 Pa.
When would I need to convert pascal (stress) to kilogram-force per square centimetre (stress)?
Stress conversions between Pa and kgf/cm² are routine in mechanics-of-materials work: yield, ultimate and allowable-stress specification, Young's-modulus tables and structural-design code calculations. MPa and N/mm² dominate ISO and European datasheets, psi and ksi dominate US structural codes, and kgf/cm² and kgf/mm² appear in legacy JIS and heavy-engineering documentation. Stress is the same physical dimension as pressure but a different engineering quantity — this category is mechanics-of-materials, not process pressure.
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).
