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 Kip Force Per Square Inch?
The kip force per square inch (symbol: ksi) is a non-SI unit of pressure commonly used in structural engineering and material science. It represents the pressure exerted by one kip (1,000 pounds-force) acting on an area of one square inch. The ksi is widely used to express the yield strength, tensile strength, and compressive strength of steel, concrete, and other engineering materials.
One kip force per square inch is equal to 6,894,757.29 pascals, 6.89476 megapascals, 68.9476 bars, 1,000 pounds per square inch, and 68.0459 standard atmospheres. The ksi is the standard unit for reporting material strength in many engineering design codes.
