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 Meter?
The metric ton-force per square meter (symbol: tf/m²) is a non-SI unit of pressure representing the pressure exerted by one metric ton-force distributed over one square meter. It is commonly used in geotechnical engineering, foundation design, and soil bearing capacity calculations. Although the pascal is the SI unit of pressure, the metric ton-force per square meter remains widely recognized in construction and civil engineering.
One metric ton-force per square meter is equal to 9,806.65 pascals, 9.80665 kilopascals, 0.0980665 bar, 204.816 pounds per square foot, and 1,000 kilogram-force per square meter. The unit is widely used for reporting allowable soil pressure and distributed structural loads.
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.
