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 Kilogram-force per Square Meter?
The kilogram-force per square meter (symbol: kgf/m²) is a non-SI unit of pressure representing the pressure exerted by one kilogram-force acting on an area of one square meter. It has been used in engineering, construction, and physics, although SI units such as the pascal are now preferred. The unit is based on the kilogram-force.
One kilogram-force per square meter is equal to 9.80665 pascals, 0.00980665 kilopascals, 0.0000980665 bar, 0.00142233 psi, and 0.0000967841 standard atmosphere. It is mainly found in older engineering references.
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.
