What does centipascal measure?

Centipascal (cPa) is an SI-derived unit of pressure representing one hundredth of a pascal, used for very small pressure differences.

Why convert centipascal to kilogram-force per square millimeter?

This conversion helps relate small pressure measurements to units used in materials testing and mechanical engineering, especially in legacy data.

Is kilogram-force per square millimeter an SI unit?

No, kilogram-force per square millimeter is a non-SI gravitational unit commonly used in older technical literature.
