Understanding Pressure Conversion

What is a Kilogram per Square Centimeter (kgf/cm²)?

A kilogram per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a non-SI unit of pressure equal to the force of one kilogram-force applied to an area of one square centimeter. While deprecated in favor of SI units, it's still commonly used in some engineering applications and precision instruments.

What is a Bar?

A bar is a metric unit of pressure equal to 100,000 pascals (100 kPa) or approximately 0.987 standard atmospheres. One bar is slightly less than average atmospheric pressure at sea level. It's widely used in meteorology and many industrial applications.
