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 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.
What is Gram per Square Centimetre?
The gram per square centimetre (symbol: g/cm²) is a non-SI unit of pressure that represents the force exerted by one gram over an area of one square centimetre under standard gravity. It has been used in physics, engineering, and older technical literature, although SI units such as the pascal are now preferred. It is related to the gravitational metric system described in the gravitational metric system.
One gram per square centimetre is equal to 98.0665 pascals, 0.0980665 kilopascals, 0.000980665 bar, 0.0142233 pounds per square inch, and 0.000967841 standard atmosphere. This unit is mainly encountered in legacy engineering references and specialized calculations.
