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 Inch?

The pound force per square inch (symbol: psi or lbf/in2) is a non-SI unit of pressure equal to one pound-force applied over an area of one square inch. It is one of the most widely used pressure units in the United States for measuring tire pressure, hydraulic systems, compressed gases, and industrial equipment. Although the pascal is the SI unit of pressure, the psi remains the preferred unit in many engineering applications. More information is available in the pounds per square inch article.

One pound force per square inch is equal to 6,894.76 pascals, 6.89476 kilopascals, 0.0689476 bar, 0.068046 standard atmosphere, and 0.0703069 kilogram-force per square centimetre. The psi is one of the world's most recognized units for measuring pressure.

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.

Some Pound Force Per Square Inch to Metric Ton-force per Square Meter conversions

Pound Force Per Square Inch to Metric Ton-force per Square Meter Examples

Example 1:
Convert 0.7 Pound Force Per Square Inch pressure to Metric Ton-force per Square Meter unit.
Solution:
We know that one Pound Force Per Square Inch is equivalent to 0.00010197162129779282 Metric Ton-force per Square Meter.
Therefore,
0.7 psi = 0.7 x 0.00010197162129779282 Metric Ton-force per Square Meter.
0.7 psi = 0.00007138013490845498 Metric Ton-force per Square Meter.
