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 Meter of Head?
The meter of head (symbol: mH₂O or m head) is a non-SI unit of pressure that represents the pressure generated by a one-meter column of water under standard gravity. It is widely used in hydraulics, water supply systems, pumps, irrigation, and fluid engineering to describe pressure and pump performance. Although the pascal is the SI unit of pressure, the meter of head remains popular because it directly relates pressure to water height. It is based on the principles of hydraulic head.
One meter of head is equal to 9,806.65 pascals, 9.80665 kilopascals, 0.0980665 bar, 1.42233 pounds per square inch, and 3.28084 feet of water. The meter of head is commonly used to specify pump capacity and water system pressure.
