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 Metric Ton-force per Square Meter?
The metric ton-force per square meter (symbol: tf/m²) is a non-SI unit of pressure representing the pressure exerted by one metric ton-force distributed over one square meter. It is commonly used in geotechnical engineering, foundation design, and soil bearing capacity calculations. Although the pascal is the SI unit of pressure, the metric ton-force per square meter remains widely recognized in construction and civil engineering.
One metric ton-force per square meter is equal to 9,806.65 pascals, 9.80665 kilopascals, 0.0980665 bar, 204.816 pounds per square foot, and 1,000 kilogram-force per square meter. The unit is widely used for reporting allowable soil pressure and distributed structural loads.
