Shannon is right in regards to the units of measure.  But it is curious that 
they would use these units.  KiloPascals is already measure of pressure 
without the "cm2" part.  1 kilopascal is 0.145 psi(or 1 psi is 6.89 
kilopascals).  The "cm2" is inappropriate.
Now I've seen an oil pressure gauge that read "kgf/cm2".  This is appropriate 
because 1kgf/cm2 is equal to 14.23lbs/in2.
