Gram per Square Centimetre Unit | All you need to know

The gram per square centimetre (symbol: g/cm²) is a non-SI unit of pressure that represents the force exerted by one gram over an area of one square centimetre under standard gravity. It has been used in physics, engineering, and older technical literature, although SI units such as the pascal are now preferred. It is related to the gravitational metric system described in the gravitational metric system.

One gram per square centimetre is equal to 98.0665 pascals, 0.0980665 kilopascals, 0.000980665 bar, 0.0142233 pounds per square inch, and 0.000967841 standard atmosphere. This unit is mainly encountered in legacy engineering references and specialized calculations.
