    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram-force_per_square...

    A newton is equal to 1 kg⋅m/s 2, and a kilogram-force is 9.80665 N, [3] meaning that 1 kgf/cm 2 equals 98.0665 kilopascals (kPa). In some older publications, kilogram-force per square centimetre is abbreviated ksc instead of kg/cm 2.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrer

    The cm corresponds in the permeability equations to the thickness of the material whose permeability is being evaluated, the cm 3 STP cm2 s −1 to the flux of gas through the material, and the cmHg to the pressure drop across the material. That is, it measures the rate of fluid flow passing through an area of material with a thickness ...

    The shed is a unit of area used in nuclear physics equal to 10 −24 barns (100 rm 2 = 10 −52 m 2). The outhouse is a unit of area used in nuclear physics equal to 10 −6 barns (100 am 2 = 10 −34 m 2). The barn (b) is a unit of area used in nuclear physics equal to one hundred femtometres squared (100 fm 2 = 10 −28 m 2).

  6. Bar (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_(unit)

    [1] [2] By the barometric formula, 1 bar is roughly the atmospheric pressure on Earth at an altitude of 111 metres at 15 °C. The bar and the millibar were introduced by the Norwegian meteorologist Vilhelm Bjerknes , who was a founder of the modern practice of weather forecasting , with the bar defined as one mega dyne per square centimeter .

  8. Pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure

    Other units of pressure, such as pounds per square inch (lbf/in 2) and bar, are also in common use. The CGS unit of pressure is the barye (Ba), equal to 1 dyn·cm2, or 0.1 Pa. Pressure is sometimes expressed in grams-force or kilograms-force per square centimetre ("g/cm 2" or "kg/cm 2") and the like without properly identifying the force ...

  9. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    In the cgs system the unit of pressure was the barye (ba), equal to 1 dyn·cm2. In the mts system, the unit of pressure was the pieze, equal to 1 sthene per square metre. Many other hybrid units are used such as mmHg/cm 2 or grams-force/cm 2 (sometimes as kg/cm 2 without properly identifying the force units). Using the names kilogram, gram ...
