Illustration of Division:
Metric Ton-force per Square Foot = ppa ÷ 1.055579e-10

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 Petapascal?

The petapascal (symbol: PPa) is an SI-derived unit of pressure equal to one quadrillion (10¹⁵) pascals. It is an extremely large pressure unit used primarily in astrophysics, geophysics, high-energy physics, and theoretical research involving exceptionally high pressures. The petapascal uses the SI prefix peta, representing a factor of 10¹⁵.

One petapascal is equal to 1,000 terapascals, 1,000,000 gigapascals, 1,000,000,000 megapascals, 10,000,000,000 bars, and 1×10¹⁵ pascals. Although rarely encountered outside advanced scientific research, the petapascal is part of the complete SI pressure scale.

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.
