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 Metric Ton-force per Square Foot?
The metric ton-force per square foot (symbol: tf/ft²) is a non-SI unit of pressure representing one metric ton-force applied over an area of one square foot. It is occasionally used in structural engineering, foundation design, and heavy construction projects where Imperial area units are combined with metric force units. The unit is based on the metric ton-force.
One metric ton-force per square foot is equal to 105,557.9021 pascals, 105.5579021 kilopascals, 1.055579021 bars, 2,204.622622 pounds per square foot, and 2.204622622 kip force per square foot. This unit is occasionally encountered in structural load calculations and heavy engineering applications.
What is Gigapascal?
The gigapascal (symbol: GPa) is an SI-derived unit of pressure equal to one billion (109) pascals. It is widely used in material science, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, and geology to express very high pressures and the elastic modulus of materials. The gigapascal uses the SI prefix giga, representing a factor of one billion.
One gigapascal is equal to 1,000,000,000 pascals, 1,000 megapascals, 1,000,000 kilopascals, 10,000 bars, and 145,037.738 pounds per square inch. The gigapascal is the standard unit for reporting the strength and stiffness of engineering materials.
