What is a kilogram-force per square centimeter?
The kilogram-force per square centimeter, often written kg/cm², equals exactly 98,066.5 pascals, slightly less than a bar. It survives on older pressure gauges and in Asian and Latin American technical documents.
What is a pound per square inch?
The pound per square inch is the US unit of pressure, about 6,894.76 pascals. Car tires are usually inflated to 30 to 35 psi, and sea-level air pressure is 14.7 psi. Gauges often read psig, the pressure above atmospheric.
