Pounds per Square Foot to Kilograms per Square Centimeter Converter

2.441211 kgf/cm²

Conversion Formula

To convert from pounds per square foot (PSF) to kilograms per square centimeter (kgf/cm²), multiply the pressure value by 0.000488:

kgf/cm² = PSF × 0.000488

Understanding Pressure Units

Pounds per Square Foot (PSF)

PSF is a common pressure unit in US customary and imperial systems, often used in construction and engineering calculations. It represents the force in pounds acting on one square foot of area.

Kilograms per Square Centimeter (kgf/cm²)

This metric unit represents the force of one kilogram acting on one square centimeter. While it's considered deprecated in favor of Pascal (Pa) in the SI system, it's still commonly used in many industrial applications.
