conversion measurements

[tweeder]

I have an older gates sonic tension meter. the meter reads the weight/mass in gf/cm2. the measurement the the service bulleten gives is in g/m. Can somebody convert 8.4 g/m into gf/cm2.

All I could find there was the g/m but it was a denier to g/m, what ever the denier is. I couldn't find the gf/cm2

[Questions]

Does anyone know what the correct reading would be for the Cricket II I believe it reads in Pounds?

I have mine set at 135 and it seems tobe working well

There is a complete confusion of units as there is no conversion possible.
If, however, the service bullitin meant g/M2 then you would give you 84000 on the Gates meter.
I suspect that the two meters are actually measuring different things so no direct conversion is possible

The service bulliten is giving g/m. The gates is asking gf/cm2.

"This does not compute, Will Robinson."

g/m is measure of torque, such as lb*ft or ft*lb..
gf/m^2 is a pressure value, such as psi.

The two are incompatible for direct conversion.

Well heres a pic of my machine and what its asking incase I got it wrong. Its asking me to input a weight here, but I only have a calculation of 8.4 g/m into gf/cm2.

Anyone?
