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 Pascal?
A pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, equal to one newton per square metre (1 N/m²). Named after the French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal, the pascal measures the amount of force applied over a given area. It is the standard unit for pressure, stress, and elastic modulus in science, engineering, meteorology, and many industrial applications.
One pascal represents a relatively small amount of pressure, so larger multiples such as kilopascals (kPa), megapascals (MPa), and gigapascals (GPa) are commonly used in engineering and industry. The pascal is part of the International System of Units (SI) and provides a consistent standard for pressure measurements worldwide.
Pascals are widely used to measure atmospheric pressure, fluid pressure, tire pressure (often expressed in kilopascals), material strength, hydraulic systems, and engineering calculations. The unit also plays an important role in structural engineering, mechanical design, aerospace, and scientific research.
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.
