In USMA 30220 David wrote "you can also use grams-force".
No you can not,  not if you use SI.

Standard SI10 says in 3.3.3.1 "Do not use old metric units such 
as ... kilogram-force per square centimeter"

and in C.6.1 "The kilogram-force ... is not used."

Use of gram-force is a way to degrade accuracy in measurement and 
continues the confusion of mass and weight.
