How to Convert Nanopascal to Kilogram-Force/sq. Cm

1 nPa = 1.01971621297793e-14 kgf/cm^2

Example: convert 15 nPa to kgf/cm^2:
15 nPa = 15 × 1.01971621297793e-14 kgf/cm^2 = 1.52957431946689e-13 kgf/cm^2

Nanopascal

The nanopascal (nPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one billionth of a pascal, where 1 nPa = 10^-9 Pa.

History/Origin

The nanopascal was introduced as part of the SI unit system's extension to accommodate very small pressure measurements, primarily in scientific research involving micro- and nanoscale phenomena.

Current Use

Nanopascals are used in high-precision scientific applications such as atmospheric pressure measurements, microfluidics, and nanotechnology research where extremely low pressure differences need to be quantified.


Kilogram-Force/sq. Cm

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square centimeter.

History/Origin

The unit originated from the use of the kilogram-force, a non-SI unit of force based on the gravitational force on a kilogram, and was commonly used in engineering and physics before the widespread adoption of the Pascal. It was particularly prevalent in countries using the metric system for pressure measurements.

Current Use

Although largely replaced by the Pascal (Pa) in scientific contexts, kgf/cm² is still used in some industries such as hydraulics, pneumatics, and engineering to express pressure, especially in regions or applications where traditional units persist.
