Sl unit (International unit) of pressure value
Sl unit (International unit)
In line with the revision of the Measurement Law, the SI unit system was adopted as international unit in place of the gravitational unit system conventionally used so far.
As a result, “Pa (Pascal)” of the SI unit is used these days in place of “kgf/c㎡ (kg/c㎡)” and “cmHg (mmHg)” which have been generally used for the unit of pressure.
As the unit for pressure gauges, MPa (Megapascal) or kPa (Kilopascal) is used.
1MPa = 1,000kPa = 1,000,000Pa ≒ 10.197kgf/c㎡
Conversion formula
- From the conventional unit to Sl unit
- [・・・・・・・・] MPa = [・・・・・・・・] kgf/c㎡ × 0.0980665
- [・・・・・・・・] MPa = [・・・・・・・・] cm Hg × 0.0013332
