Understanding Pressure Conversion
Pounds per Square Foot (PSF)
PSF is a unit of pressure commonly used in engineering and construction in the United States. It represents the force in pounds acting on one square foot of area.
Formula: 1 PSF = 1 lbf/ft²
Pascal (Pa)
The pascal is the SI unit for pressure, defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²). It's named after Blaise Pascal and is commonly used in scientific and engineering calculations.
Formula: 1 Pa = 1 N/m²
Conversion Formula
To convert from pounds per square foot (PSF) to pascals (Pa):
Pascals = PSF × 47.880208
This conversion factor is derived from the relationship between pounds-force, square feet, newtons, and square meters.
