Convert Gigapascal to Kilogram-Force/Square Meter
Gigapascal
A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 10⁹ pascals (Pa). A pascal is defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²). The gigapascal is used to measure very high pressures, such as those found in materials science and engineering, particularly in the study of the mechanical properties of materials.
The term "gigapascal" combines the SI prefix "giga-", representing 10⁹, and the unit "pascal," named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician and physicist known for his contributions to the study of pressure and fluid mechanics. The prefix "giga-" comes from the Greek word γίγας (gígas), meaning "giant," and was adopted in 1960 to denote 10⁹, or one billion. The gigapascal is commonly used in scientific and engineering contexts where pressures are extremely high.
Kilogram-Force/Square Meter
The kilogram-force per square meter (kgf/m²) is a unit of pressure in the metric system. It quantifies force per unit area and is commonly used in various scientific and engineering contexts. Mathematically: 1 kgf/m² = 9.80665 N/m² = 9.80665 Pa.
The unit is derived from the kilogram-force (kgf), a unit of force in the metric system, and the square meter (m²), a unit of area. The kilogram-force per square meter is used in contexts where pressures are relatively low.
