MPa to kgf/cm² converter
1 MPa = 10.1972 kgf/cm²
And 1 kgf/cm² = 0.0980665 MPa. Megapascal to kilograms-force per square centimetre.
Formula
kgf/cm² = MPa × 10.1972
A reading of 15 MPa is 15 × 10.1972 = 152.957 kgf/cm².

About these units
MPa (megapascal): Standard for material strength, hydraulics and pressure vessels; equal to 1 N/mm².
kgf/cm² (kilograms-force per square centimetre): Older metric industrial gauges; about 0.98 bar.
Gauge pressure (psig, barg) is measured relative to the surrounding atmosphere; absolute pressure (psia, bara) is relative to vacuum. Converting units never changes that reference: absolute = gauge + about 14.696 psi (1.01325 bar) at sea level. Stress uses the same units: 1 MPa = 1 N/mm².
