1 kgf/cm² equals about
0,981 bar
The kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm², sometimes also called 'technical atmosphere') is a pressure unit historically used in industrial and engineering contexts, before the widespread adoption of the International System. It is still found in some technical specifications, manuals, and older pressure gauges.
To convert a measurement from kgf/cm² to bar, simply multiply the value by 0.9807:
To convert from bar to kgf/cm², perform the inverse operation, dividing by 0.9807:
kgf/cm² still appears on some older industrial equipment, legacy pressure gauges, and in countries or sectors where the full transition to the International System has been slower. Knowing the conversion factor to bar is useful for those working with imported or older manufacturing machinery.
