Please note that the SI unit of pressure is newton/meter2, force/area (N/m2, or pascal); kg/cm2 is mass/area which is *not* a pressure.
Gene.
Quite right. kg/cm2 is a hangover from the metre-kilogram(force)-second system that is still used by some European engineers. In that system
force(kilograms) = mass(kilograms) x acceleration / g.
