What does kilogram-force per square meter measure?

It is a non-SI pressure unit representing the force of one kilogram-force applied evenly over one square meter.

When should I use picopascal units?

Picopascal units are used to quantify extremely low pressures, such as those found in vacuum systems, space environments, and plasma research.

Why convert kilogram-force per square meter to picopascal?

Converting allows translation of older or regional pressure data into very fine SI units for precise scientific and engineering analysis.
