How to Convert Kilogram-Force/square Meter to Exapascal
1 kgf/m^2 = 9.80665e-18 EPa
Example: convert 15 kgf/m^2 to EPa:
15 kgf/m^2 = 15 × 9.80665e-18 EPa = 1.4709975e-16 EPa

Kilogram-Force/square Meter
Kilogram-force per square meter (kgf/m^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square meter.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram, before the adoption of SI units. It was commonly used in engineering and physics to measure pressure in contexts where gravitational force was considered.
Current Use
Today, kgf/m^2 is largely obsolete and replaced by the SI unit Pascal (Pa). However, it may still be encountered in legacy systems or specific regional applications related to pressure measurement.
Exapascal
An exapascal (EPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^18 pascals, used to measure extremely high pressures.
History/Origin
The exapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) prefixes to represent very large pressure values, primarily in scientific and engineering contexts involving high-pressure phenomena.
Current Use
The exapascal is mainly used in fields such as geophysics, astrophysics, and high-pressure physics to describe immense pressures found in planetary interiors, stellar environments, and experimental high-pressure research.
