Extracted from the Wikipedia article Kilogram-force per square centimetre.
A kilogram-force per square centimetre (kgf/cm), often just kilogram per square centimetre (kg/cm), or kilopond per square centimetre (kp/cm) is a deprecated unit of pressure using metric units. It is not a part of the International System of Units (SI), the modern metric system. 1 kgf/cm equals 98.0665 kPa (kilopascals) or 0.980665 bar—2% less than a bar. It is also known as a technical atmosphere (symbol: at).
