The kilogram force has never been a part of the International System of Units SI , which was introduced in 1960. The SI unit of force is the Newton unit newton . Prior to this, the unit was widely used in much of the world it is still in use for some purposes. The thrust of a rocket engine, for example, was measured in kilograms force in 1940s Germany, in the Soviet Union where it remained the primary unit for thrust in the Russian space program until at least the late 1980s , and it is still used today in China and sometimes by the European Space Agency. It is also used for tension of spoke bicycle spokes , for torque measured in meter kilograms , for informal references to pressure in kilograms per square centimeter, for the draw weight of bows in archery, and to define the metric horsepower PS as 75 metre kiloponds per second. ref name SP811 The gram force and kilogram force were never well defined units until the CGPM ... daN is used in some fields as an approximation to the kilogram force, being exactly rather than ... it Chilogrammo forza nl Kilogramkracht ja no Pond pl Kilogram si a pt Quilograma for a ... more details

A kilogram force per square centimeter kgf cm sup 2 sup , often just kilogram per square centimeter kg cm sup 2 sup , or kilopond per square centimeter is a unit of pressure using metric units. Its use is now deprecated it is not a part of the International System of Units SI , the modern metric system. Still, kg cm sup 2 sup remains active as a measurement of force primarily due to older torque measurement devices still in use. In SI units, the unit is converted to the SI derived unit pascal unit pascal Pa , which is defined as one newton unit newton per square meter N m sup 2 sup .

Unreferenced date December 2009 A gram per liter or litre g L is a unit of measurement of mass concentration chemistry mass concentration that shows how many gram s of a certain Chemical substance substance are present in one litre of a usually liquid or gaseous mixture. It is not an SI unit because it contains the non SI unit litre . The SI unit of mass concentration is kilogram per cubic meter , which is numerically equivalent 1 g L 1 kg m . SI style prefixes are often applied, giving units like milligram s per litre mg L or micrograms per decilitre &mu g dL or mcg dL . When measuring concentration in water, parts per million is an older expression of mg L, since one liter of water under Standard conditions for temperature and pressure standard conditions weighs one kilogram or one million milligrams. Milligrams per litre are often used in medicine and in medical prescription s. For example, a description of a solution that Chemical compound involves two substances , where one of the substances involves adding Water molecule water , would state 10 mg L water and substance DEFAULTSORT Gram Per Litre Category Units of density es Gramos por litro ru zh ... more details
