What is Pressure?

Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to a surface per unit area: P = F / A. The SI unit is the pascal (Pa), equal to one newton per square metre (1 Pa = 1 N/m²). Practical applications use larger units: the bar (1 bar = 100,000 Pa, close to standard atmospheric pressure), atmosphere (atm) (1 atm = 101,325 Pa), and psi (pounds per square inch, used in the US for tire and gas pressures). Blood pressure is measured in mmHg (millimetres of mercury), also called torr.

What is Feet of water?

The foot of water (symbol: ftH₂O or ftH2O) is a non-SI unit of pressure based on the pressure exerted by a one-foot column of water under standard gravity. It is commonly used in plumbing, HVAC systems, fluid mechanics, and water distribution networks to measure relatively low pressures. Although the pascal is the SI unit of pressure, the foot of water remains widely used in engineering applications involving liquids. More information can be found in the water column reference.

One foot of water is equal to 2,989.07 pascals, 12 inches of water, 0.0298907 bar, 0.433527 psi, and 0.029503 standard atmosphere. The foot of water is widely used for measuring hydrostatic and fluid system pressures.

What is Kip Force Per Square Foot?

The kip force per square foot (symbol: ksf, kip/sq ft, kip/ft2) is a non-SI unit of pressure commonly used in structural and civil engineering in the United States. It represents the pressure produced by one kip (1,000 pounds-force) acting on an area of one square foot. The unit is frequently used to specify soil bearing capacity, structural loads, and foundation design.

One kip force per square foot is equal to 47,880.26 pascals, 47.8803 kilopascals, 0.478803 bar, 6.94444 psi, and 0.472555 standard atmosphere. The ksf unit remains widely used in geotechnical and structural engineering projects.
