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 Inch?
The ton-force per square inch (symbol: tf/in²) is a non-SI unit of pressure that represents the pressure exerted by one metric ton-force acting on an area of one square inch. It is an extremely large pressure unit used primarily in heavy engineering, material testing, hydraulic systems, and industrial applications where very high pressures are involved. Although the pascal is the SI unit of pressure, ton-force per square inch is still found in some engineering references. It is related to the ton-force.
One ton-force per square inch is equal to 15201054.0982 pascals, 15.201054098 megapascals, 152.010540982 bars, 2,204.62 pounds per square inch, and 155.031 kilogram-force per square centimetre. The ton-force per square inch is mainly used in specialized engineering calculations and high-pressure industrial applications.
What is Pound Force Per Square Foot?
The pound force per square foot (symbol: psf) is a non-SI unit of pressure that represents the pressure exerted by one pound-force distributed over an area of one square foot. It is commonly used in civil engineering, structural design, HVAC systems, and building codes in the United States to specify wind loads, floor loads, and air pressure. The unit is based on the pound per square foot.
One pound force per square foot is equal to 47.8803 pascals, 0.0478803 kilopascals, 0.000478803 bar, 0.00694444 pounds per square inch, and 0.000472555 standard atmosphere. The psf remains a standard unit for structural and environmental load calculations.
