What are the units for pressure?
Pressure is force divided by area. Using standard metric units, the basic measure of force is equivalent to 1 N/m2. This standard unit of pressure has been defined as the Pascal, where 1 Pa = 1 N/m2. In the imperial system, using units of lbsf and in2, you get pressure measurements in pounds per square inch or PSI.
What is the FPS unit of temperature?
farenhite is the unit of temperature in fps system.
What is the meaning of KGF cm2?
kilogram-force per centimetre square
A kilogram-force per centimetre square (kgf/cm2), often just kilogram per square centimetre (kg/cm2), or kilopond per centimetre square is a deprecated unit of pressure using metric units. It is not a part of the International System of Units (SI), the modern metric system. 1 kgf/cm2 equals 98.0665 kPa (kilopascals).
Is Torque lb/ft or ft lb?
Torque is always measured in force at a radius. The correct measurement is lbf-ft or “pounds force foot”, which we shorten to lb-ft. The metric guys always have it right, when they express torque in terms of Nm, or Newton-meter.
What unit is kg cm2?

Is Torr a unit of pressure?
The torr (symbol: Torr) is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, defined as exactly 1760 of a standard atmosphere (101325 Pa). Thus one torr is exactly 101325760 pascals (≈ 133.32 Pa).
Is torr and mmHg the same?
One unit of gas pressure is the millimeter of mercury (mmHg). An equivalent unit to the mmHg is called the torr, in honor of the inventor of the barometer, Evangelista Torricelli. Standard atmospheric pressure is called 1 atm of pressure and is equal to 760 mmHg and 101.3 kPa.
