How to Convert Gigapascal to Kilogram-force per Square Centimetre
- 1 GPa = 10197.16213 kgf/cm²
- 1 kgf/cm² = 0.0000980665 GPa
- Example: convert 15 GPa to kgf/cm²: 15 GPa = 15 × 10197.16213 kgf/cm² = 152957.4319 kgf/cm²
Formula
kgf/cm² = GPa × 10197.16212978
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 GPa = 10⁹ Pa = 1000 MPa = 1 kN/mm²
- 1 kgf/cm² = 9.80665 N ÷ 10⁻⁴ m² = 98 066.5 Pa (exact), also called the technical atmosphere (at)
- 1 GPa = 1000000000 Pa ÷ 98066.5 Pa per kgf/cm² = 10197.16212978 kgf/cm²
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Gigapascal definition: gigapascal; Kilogram-force per Square Centimetre definition: kilogram-force per square centimetre.
Worked examples
- A reading of 10 GPa converts to 101971.6213 kgf/cm².
10 GPa × 10197.16213 = 101971.6213 kgf/cm² - A value of 190 GPa is 1937460.805 kgf/cm².
190 GPa × 10197.16213 = 1937460.805 kgf/cm²

Where it's used
Gigapascals are used for young's modulus and shear modulus of metals, ceramics and composites, 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.
