Kilogram per Square Meter to Pascal Converter

What is a Kilogram per Square Meter (kgf/m²)?

A kilogram per square meter (kgf/m²) is a non-SI metric unit of pressure that represents the force of one kilogram-force distributed over one square meter. While historically used, this unit is now deprecated in favor of the pascal in the SI system.

What is a Pascal (Pa)?

The pascal (Pa) is the SI unit for pressure, defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²). It's named after Blaise Pascal and is the standard unit for measuring pressure in scientific and engineering applications.
