How to Convert Atmosphere to Kilogram-force per Square Centimetre
- 1 atm = 1.033227453 kgf/cm²
- 1 kgf/cm² = 0.9678411054 atm
- Example: convert 15 atm to kgf/cm²: 15 atm = 15 × 1.033227453 kgf/cm² = 15.49841179 kgf/cm²
Formula
kgf/cm² = atm × 1.0332274528
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 atm = 101 325 Pa (exact, by definition)
- 1 kgf/cm² = 9.80665 N ÷ 10⁻⁴ m² = 98 066.5 Pa (exact), also called the technical atmosphere (at)
- 1 atm = 101325 Pa ÷ 98066.5 Pa per kgf/cm² = 1.0332274528 kgf/cm²
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Atmosphere definition: atmosphere; Kilogram-force per Square Centimetre definition: kilogram-force per square centimetre.
Worked examples
- A reading of 1.5 atm converts to 1.549841179 kgf/cm².
1.5 atm × 1.033227453 = 1.549841179 kgf/cm² - A value of 10 atm is 10.33227453 kgf/cm².
10 atm × 1.033227453 = 10.33227453 kgf/cm²

Where it's used
Atmospheres are used for chemistry and gas laws (STP and NTP conditions), while kilograms-force per square centimetre appear in pressure gauges in India, Japan and Latin America. Both measure pressure, stress and differential pressure (force per unit area), so the conversion is a fixed factor.
