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 Centipascal?
The centipascal (symbol: cPa) is an SI-derived unit of pressure equal to one-hundredth (0.01) of a pascal. It is used to express relatively small pressure values in scientific calculations, laboratory measurements, and engineering applications where greater precision than the pascal is required. The centipascal uses the SI prefix centi, representing a factor of one-hundredth.
One centipascal is equal to 0.01 pascal, 10 millipascals, 10,000 micropascals, 0.0000001 bar, and 9.86923×10-8 standard atmosphere. The centipascal provides a convenient way to represent small pressure values using SI units.
