📖 About Kg Cm to Psi

Pressure Metrology & Technical Atmosphere Standards

The unit $\text{kg/cm}^2$ is also known historically as the Technical Atmosphere (at). It is defined as the pressure exerted by $1\text{ kilogram of mass}$ acting under standard gravity over a $1\text{ cm}^2$ area.

Primary Pressure Scale Equivalents

  • 1 kgf/cm² (at): $\equiv 14.223343\text{ psi} = 0.980665\text{ bar} = 98.0665\text{ kPa} = 0.967841\text{ atm}$
  • 1 psi: $\equiv 0.070307\text{ kgf/cm}^2 = 0.0689476\text{ bar} = 6.89476\text{ kPa}$
  • 1 Bar: $= 1.019716\text{ kgf/cm}^2 = 14.50377\text{ psi} = 100\text{ kPa}$
  • 1 Atmosphere (101.325 kPa): $= 1.033227\text{ kgf/cm}^2 = 14.69595\text{ psi}$

Equations

  • $\text{psi} = \text{kgf/cm}^2 \times 14.2233433$
  • $\text{kgf/cm}^2 = \text{psi} \times 0.07030696$
