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 Gram-force per Square Meter?
The gram-force per square meter (symbol: gf/m²) is a non-SI unit of pressure representing the pressure exerted by one gram-force acting on an area of one square meter. It is used mainly in historical engineering references and educational examples, while SI units such as the pascal are preferred in modern practice. The unit is based on the gram-force.
One gram-force per square meter is equal to 0.00980665 pascal, 0.00000980665 kilopascal, 9.80665×10-8 bar, 0.00000142233 psi, and 9.67841×10-8 standard atmosphere. The unit is rarely used today outside specialized references.
What is Pound Force Per Square Foot?
The pound force per square foot (symbol: psf) is a non-SI unit of pressure that represents the pressure exerted by one pound-force distributed over an area of one square foot. It is commonly used in civil engineering, structural design, HVAC systems, and building codes in the United States to specify wind loads, floor loads, and air pressure. The unit is based on the pound per square foot.
One pound force per square foot is equal to 47.8803 pascals, 0.0478803 kilopascals, 0.000478803 bar, 0.00694444 pounds per square inch, and 0.000472555 standard atmosphere. The psf remains a standard unit for structural and environmental load calculations.
