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 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.

What is Metric Ton-force per Square Centimeter?

The metric ton-force per square centimeter (symbol: tf/cm²) is a non-SI unit of pressure that represents the pressure exerted by one metric ton-force acting on an area of one square centimeter. One metric ton-force is the force produced by a mass of 1,000 kilograms under standard gravity. This unit has been used in structural engineering, heavy machinery, and material testing, although SI units such as the pascal are now preferred. It is based on the ton-force.

One metric ton-force per square centimeter is equal to 98,066,500 pascals, 98.0665 megapascals, 980.665 bars, 14,223.3 pounds per square inch, and 1,000 kilogram-force per square centimeter. This unit is mainly encountered in heavy engineering and legacy specifications.

Some Pound Force Per Square Foot to Metric Ton-force per Square Centimeter conversions

Pound Force Per Square Foot to Metric Ton-force per Square Centimeter Examples

Example 1:
Convert 0.9 Pound Force Per Square Foot pressure to Metric Ton-force per Square Centimeter unit.
Solution:
We know that one Pound Force Per Square Foot is equivalent to 0.00000001 Metric Ton-force per Square Centimeter.
Therefore,
0.9 psf = 0.9 x 0.00000001 Metric Ton-force per Square Centimeter.
0.9 psf = 0.000000009 Metric Ton-force per Square Centimeter.
Hence, 0.9 Pound Force Per Square Foot is approximately equal to 0.000000009 Metric Ton-force per Square Centimeter.
Example 2:
Convert 5 Pound Force Per Square Foot pressure to Metric Ton-force per Square Centimeter unit.
Solution:
We know that one Pound Force Per Square Foot is equivalent to 0.00000001 Metric Ton-force per Square Centimeter.
Therefore,
5 psf = 5 x 0.00000001 Metric Ton-force per Square Centimeter.
5 psf = 0.00000005 Metric Ton-force per Square Centimeter.
Hence, 5 Pound Force Per Square Foot is approximately equal to 0.00000005 Metric Ton-force per Square Centimeter.
