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 Inch of water?

The inch of water (symbol: inH₂O or inH2O) is a non-SI unit of pressure based on the pressure exerted by a one-inch column of water under standard gravity. It is commonly used in HVAC systems, ventilation, gas distribution, and fluid mechanics to measure low-pressure differences. Although the pascal is the SI unit of pressure, the inch of water remains widely used because it provides a convenient scale for low-pressure applications. More information is available in the inch of water reference.

One inch of water is equal to 249.089 pascals, 2.54 centimeters of water, 0.00249089 bar, 0.0361263 psi, and 0.249089 kilopascals. The inch of water is one of the most commonly used units for measuring low gas and air pressures.

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.
