In SI units, the unit is converted to the SI derived unit pascal (Pa), which is defined as one newton per square metre (N/m 2). 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 engineering and physics, g c is a unit conversion factor used to convert mass to force or vice versa. [1] It is defined as = In unit systems where force is a derived unit, like in SI units, g c is equal to 1.

The kilogram-force (kgf or kg F), or kilopond (kp, from Latin: pondus, lit. 'weight'), is a non-standard gravitational metric unit of force . It is not accepted for use with the International System of Units (SI) [ 1 ] and is deprecated for most uses.
This means 1 kp·m = 9.80665 kg·m/s 2 = 9.80665 N·m. A related unit is the kgf·cm, which is sometimes found in technical datasheets. With the kgf being the same as the kp, and one meter being 100 centimeters, one kp·m equals 100 kgf·cm.
Advanced torque testers include the ability to measure in clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, [1] [failed verification] and potentially convert to engineering units (such as in·oz, in·lb, ft·lb, N·m, cN·m, kgf·cm, gf·cm, kgf·fm).
In English contexts the unit of force is usually formed by simply appending the suffix "force" to the name of the unit of mass, thus gram-force (gf) or kilogram-force (kgf), which follows the tradition of pound-force (lbf). In other, international, contexts the special name pond (p) or kilopond (kp) respectively is more frequent. 1 p = 1 gf
