How to convert megapascals to kilograms-force per square centimeter
Worked example: 1 MPa ≈ 10.2 kgf/cm²
1 MPa ÷ 0.0980665 ≈ 10.2 kgf/cm²
Rule: kilograms-force per square centimeter = megapascals ÷ 0.0980665 — exact: 1 kgf/cm² = 0.0980665 MPa.

FAQ
How many kgf/cm² is 1 MPa?
1 MPa ≈ 10.1972 kgf/cm². The exact relation goes the other way: 1 kgf/cm² = 0.0980665 MPa, so kgf/cm² = MPa ÷ 0.0980665.
What is 1 kgf/cm² equal to?
1 kgf/cm² = 0.0980665 MPa exactly (98,066.5 Pa), which is ≈ 0.9807 bar. It is the technical atmosphere: one kilogram-force, 9.80665 N, on one square centimeter.
Where does the factor 0.0980665 come from?
The kilogram-force is exactly 9.80665 N (standard gravity), and a square centimeter is 0.0001 m², so 1 kgf/cm² = 98,066.5 Pa = 0.0980665 MPa. Both numbers are exact, and so is the factor.
Is kgf/cm² the same as an atmosphere?
It is the technical atmosphere (at), exactly 98,066.5 Pa. The standard atmosphere (atm) is 101,325 Pa, about 3% more. Every answer on this page shows bar, psi and atm too.
